NEW DAWN SPREADING
The spirit of the New Dawn conference is spreading. A New
Dawn Day was held at Ladye Park, Liskeard, an ancient marian
shrine in Cornwall on 12th September. One hundred people gathered
to sing and praise God. Some had no exposure to Catholic Charismatic
Renewal, but were won over by the preaching of Myles Dempsey
and the rousing music. Fr Michael Gwinnell was the main celebrant
at the Mass. The event was seen as part of the ful.lment of
the prophecy received at New Dawn a few years ago about New
Dawn spreading to marian sites round the country as part of
the spiritual renewal of England. The next New Dawn Day at
Liskeard will be 5th June 2005.
Meanwhile in January next year, 2005, there will be another
New Dawn conference at Mbarara in Uganda. Those who have never
been to Africa and would like to experience New Dawn-African
style are invited to go and participate. Contact Gloria Nobbs
for further details. (see coming events - healing.)

Please Help Goodnews
Although we have increased the number of pages from 24 to
36 and now have a full colour glossy cover Goodnews has not
increased its subscription price since 2001. We rely on donations
to cover its costs. The bigger the circulation the smaller
the cost per magazine. You can help us in a number of ways
either by sending a donation or by taking out a gift subscription
for someone else – perhaps as a Christmas gift. We usually
.nd that people who receive gift subscriptions renew themselves
the following year. Or you could resolve simply to encourage
others to buy Goodnews, either recommending it to your friends
or by acting as a sale/return agent in your parish. Please
pray for us. Contact Gabriele 020 7352 5298.
CELEBRATE AUSTRIA GROWS
The second Austrian Celebrate Conference (inspired by the
English version down in Ilfracombe in Devon) took place this
summer at Schladming, a mountain ski-resort (22nd-28th August).
A thousand people took part, double the numbers from the .rst
one in 2002. Nearly half of the participants were under 17.
The event was a mixture, as at the English Celebrate, of fun,
prayer and teaching with talks, seminars and workshops, worship,
music and drama. There was a special programme for children
and teens and a strong ecumenical dimension. Charles and Sue
Whitehead were among this year’s speakers. The organisers,
Hans-Peter and Verena Lang commented, “The feedback was
really overwhelming”. They have booked the same venue
for the last week in August in 2006. Celebrate England will
take place during Easter week 2005. As usual it is fully booked
Cancellations only.
