St. Mary’s Church, Hellesdon, Norwich in England, presented a variety of teaching and learning materials and learning aids through the Rt. Rev. Dr. S. Telwa Johnson, the Parish Priest and Bishop of Banjul for the Anglican Mission. Bishop Telewa Johnson said, “I am delighted with this genuine and efficient partnership. I promise to include a visit to the church in my itinerary for the Lambeth conference.”
