At St Peter's we support charitable, relief, and educational work in the UK and abroad
We have strong links with Christians in Northern Uganda an area that has suffered the effects of war and rebel activity for many years. We receive regular news from our friends there, we welcome visitors, and encourage parishioners to travel to Uganda themselves.
Recently, Bishop Nelson Onono-Onweng of N Uganda visited England with his wife Brenda and chaplain Rev Willy Akena. They stayed in Henleaze for a while and Willy gave a moving presentation about life in Gulu. After enduring 20 years of war, peace now seems a real possibility and they are able to look forward to the massive task of re-building their lives. Many families are homeless and a whole generation of young people has missed out on education and skill development. They need our prayers and support.
