There is potential for much more given the support for our churches in our congregations and wider communities. But it is not just about the money. For over 500 years the Book of Common Prayer has encouraged Anglicans to make a Will as an expression of wise Christian stewardship. Within a Will is the opportunity to leave a legacy and make perhaps the largest gift we ever make to our church. A legacy gift simply applies the principle of proportionate giving from what we have to our estate as well as our income.
