ST GEORGE’S COLLEGE JERUSALEM TRUST (CC. 1001 873)
REPORT FOR 2020
As with many Trusts and Charities whether working in the UK or internationally this has been a frustrating year as we have not been able to achieve our objectives and plans for 2020. This was primarily seen in the fact that due to the Covid situation both in England and Israel/Palestine it was not possible to support the Ordinands Course at the College in July. Applications were made prior to the UK lockdown but all support fees were returned when it was obvious the course had to be cancelled. The Trust and the College hope that the course will run in the summer of 2021 but at the time of writing this report there is still a great deal of uncertainty.
The year began wonderfully with several members of the British Regional Committee being invited to participate in a weekend of celebrations of the College’s Centenary in Jerusalem at the end of January.
Two meetings on Zoom took place for the committee during the course of the year and on each occasion the committee was joined by the Dean of the College. The Trust discussed the situation in Jerusalem and kept in touch with how things were developing. The College has effectively been closed for the year but has been busy developing on line courses and videos. Discussion took place on how the British Regional Committee could develop interest in the College in the UK and tentative plans were made for a Diocesan link with administrative support in 2021 as well as events to promote the ministry of the College in the UK when the pandemic eased.
Towards the end of the year the committee expressed their appreciation to the Rt. Rev. Richard Cheetham for his committed support and leadership of the Regional Committee for several years. His replacement as the new Chair is the Rt Rev Humphrey Southern.
The committee are grateful for the continued support from individuals and other organisations during this difficult year and are in a strong position to support both clergy and laity in the future in attending course in Jerusalem as soon as this becomes possible.
