| "I know from my own experience that Christian ministry can be an immensely challenging if rewarding vocation. For some, the challenges can be overwhelming and even bruising and at such times clergy look for the help, support and respite which the Society of Mary and Martha has provided so effectively and faithfully for over twenty years. The charity has made an invaluable contribution to the development and appreciation of the healing ministry within the church and the wider community. |
| "The Sheldon Community occupies a series of converted farm buildings set in 45 acres of grounds with fine views across the Teign Valley. Guest rooms within the Long Barn now need to be upgraded and an Appeal has been launched to raise money for that purpose. I am delighted to be patron of the Appeal and to commend the excellent work done by the Society at Sheldon. |
| "The Community wishes to maintain and develop the scope of its mission and this Appeal will help to focus on its core objective to help those in need and to underline a sense of shared responsibility. The Long Barn Appeal gives each one of us an opportunity to endorse this worthwhile cause." |
