Foreword by the Bishop of Derby

The Right Reverend Alastair Redfern

The ringing of Church Bells often provides the public face of worship – an invitation and a witness to the wider community who live by God's grace but rarely come to say thanks and seek guidance.

I rejoice that the Association is so lively in the Diocese of Derby and wish to express my appreciation to everyone who plays a part in making this summons in all its various forms.  You provide a precious part of our outreach and public presence.

I wish the Association and all its members every blessing.
