THE SOCIETY OF THE SISTERS OF BETHANY

is a religious order for women
within the anglican communion

Living as a family in Christ
and in the power of the Spirit

Centred in worship and in loving service
to all who would come apart for a while

Seeking to share in the work
of reconciling the divided churches of christendom,
and the whole world to the glory of

GOD THE FATHER


ASSOCIATES: are a body of close friends
who unite their life in prayer to that of the community
and who are accepted as members of an
extended community family.

They live in their homes and accept a simple rule of life
which is the expression of a shared concern
to love and serve God and one another after the
example of

MARY, MARTHA AND LAZARUS

Update on the White Squirrel, first seen as a youngster in the Autumn of 2005 - until the beginning of November 2006.
Another white squirrel May 2007, seen regularly since then, but no new photographs - much too speedy and does acrobatics - but only seen every so often - last seen the day it snowed, Easter 3, 2008
Irene saw a new baby white squirrel in her garden [which almost backs onto ours], early October 2008, which she had until towards the end of 2009

The Solemn Profession of Sister Elizabeth Pio took place
on Saturday 9th January 2010, postponed from Epiphany - 6 January;
due to snow
