		<title>Letter from the Rector &#8211; October 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday mornings we are looking at the beatitudes, those curious sayings of Jesus which declare blessed those who are meek and merciful, poor in spirit and pure in heart, mourning and hungry, peacemakers and persecuted.  Familiar as they are, there is much in them that all of us need to hear afresh.

		<title>Letter from the Rector, February 2009</title>
