THE TREASURER'S CHALLENGE

THE TREASURER'S CHALLENGEThis book is the result of a challenge which involved individuals taking a 10 note from our Treasurer. Its not normal for a Treasurer to dole out money, but she took the risk and added a stern instruction that those who took the challenge had to make the money grow. The idea, of course, derives from the parable of the talents in the New Testament. My response to the challenge was to ask the congregation of St. Pirans Church, Perranarworthal, Cornwall

This book is the result of a challenge which involved individuals taking a £10 note from our Treasurer. ItÕs not normal for a Treasurer to dole out money, but she took the risk and added a stern instruction that those who took the challenge had to make the money grow. The idea, of course, derives from the parable of the talents in the New Testament.
My response to the challenge was to ask the congregation of St. PiranÕs Church, Perranarworthal, Cornwall to contribute written pieces with the intention of compiling and publishing a book. It was my hope that the book could then be purchased, thereby increasing the original sum for the benefit of the church.
You are holding the result in your hands. It contains prose, poetry, personal stories, both true and imaginary, non-fiction and a wealth of social history and information that will, no doubt, be a lasting legacy for those involved and their families and friends.
