Those present for the event included congregation members involved in arranging the installation and Reading CEL members. Afterwards we had an opportunity to talk with Rob Wilson - a discussion that spanned many topics of concern to Reading residents. Rob Weston took the opportunity to emphasise how important it is to the church that we respond to the needs of our neighbours in the poorest countries that are being hit hardest by climate change. While there were inevitably some points of disagreement in the discussions we all thanked him for the government's commitment to the target of giving 0.7 % of gross national income in development aid.
