THE
WALDENSIAN
REVIEW
From the Editor
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thank you for your constant interest and for your support with your thoughts,
your prayers and your financial help. However, the numbers of supporters
and donations are dropping year by year, and we must all try to do our best
to raise more interest and to find new friends, for the work of the Walden-
sian Church is vital to Italian society, both spiritually and materially, as for
instance in the welcoming of migrants and refugees. Our Mission has chosen
to sustain areas that do not receive public money, such as the running costs
of the church itself and especially in the fields of Evangelisation and youth
work and for the training of future ministers.
If you would like to organise a Waldensian event we can help with
ideas, speakers and material: indeed there is so much one can tell and share!
Waldensian history ranges from the twelfth century to nowadays and we
can provide churches, groups and individuals with talks, films, books, or we
can set up tours and holidays in Italian scenic places full of History. These
range from the Foresteria of Torre Pellice in the Waldensian Valleys in the
Italian Alps to that of Palermo. We have Guest Houses in elegant palaces in
Venice, Florence and Rome, beach guest houses on the Ligurian Riviera and
on the Isle of Elba, along with lovely hillside accommodation in Tuscany at
Reggello and in Sicily at Servizio Cristiano di Riesi. These are all cheaper
and friendlier than their commercial counterparts and the profits are for the
excellent outreach of the Waldensian/Methodist Church.
