I didn't realize the Archbishop of Canterbury is now Dame Sarah Mullally. Interesting choice for a visit to Ghana and Cameroon starting July 26. Wonder if our youth group will hear any reports from the trip once she's back.

I hadn't picked up on the name change either, Margaret. Our own youth group did a project on West African churches last winter, so it would be good if they got a proper update when she returns. Do you think the diocese will put anything on the noticeboard?

Good news about the visit to Ghana and Cameroon. I was surprised that it was now Dame Sarah Mullally - I had never heard that before. I wonder if the youth in the ward will actually get a report or at least a couple of photos on the notice board.

Really, I didn't know that the Archbishop of Canterbury is now Dame Sarah Mullally. Her trip to Ghana and Cameroon from July 26 sounds interesting. Hopefully they'll put something up on the notice board here at the club, as others say, for the kids to see.

Yes, the name Dame Sarah Mullally really surprised me, I hadn't heard it before. I wonder what they will tell the young people of Ghana and Cameroon after July 26. Maybe we in Tarnovo can put something on the board in the church for the children to see.

Yes, Dame Sarah Mullally took over last year and is the first woman in the position. Her trip to the Province of West Africa will be interesting, especially if she brings something specific for the schools and parishes there. Have you seen any photos of her from previous visits?

I didn't know that either until a while ago, George. The name Dame Sarah seemed strange to me at first, but it seems that the visit will focus on practical matters such as education. Have you seen anything written in the club's schedule for July?

Νίκη Βασιλείου

No, I haven't seen anything on the club schedule for July yet, Spyro. It strikes me that a female archbishop travels to such countries for education – will she also speak about the schools supported by the local Church?

Γιώργος Παπαγεωργίου

No, I don't think the program mentions anything about schools, Niki. It seems strange to me that the Anglican Church has a female archbishop at all, but it will probably be limited to meetings with clergy and leaders there. How do you see it, will something change in their schools?
