Elaine does diocese honours

From the archive, first published Tuesday 24th Apr 2007.

Broadcaster and author Elaine Storkey will be the principal speaker at an event organised by the Bradford Diocese.

The event, called Care for God's Earth and his People, is expected to attract 750 people, representing all the parishes in the diocese.

The Bishop of Bradford, the Right Revd David James, said: "It will be an enjoyable and challenging day - and one that will help us make a real difference throughout the diocese."

Twenty nine workshops, led by nationally-known specialists, will cover a range of contemporary issues, from welcoming the stranger' to drugs and addiction.

Young people have been invited to do community work as part of a 24-hour Sound event organised in conjunction with the day.

The event takes place at Bradford Grammar School from 10am on Saturday.
