ICS friends know all about the delights of the 'Church Christmas Fair'. Here in Izmir, the fair is a longstanding one, attracting not only friends from the local churches, but also local folk who love the opportunity to peruse our numerous stalls and a have a look inside the church, which we make sure is beautifully decorated for Christmas (liturgical purists look away now, this year’s fair wasn’t even in Advent!).

On Sunday 3 December, The Revd Canon Jay Colwill was licensed as the new Chaplain of St Michael's Paris by Archdeacon Peter Hooper. The Revd Canon Richard Bromley presented Jay on behalf of ICS.
