A local clergyman has won a bursary award from Ecclesiastical Insurance to study new ways of explaining the Christian faith in a modern world. The Reverend Roger Watts, rector of All Saints Wingerworth, will be reflecting on exactly what it means to say, in the 21st century, that "God saves" and why the death of Jesus Christ was necessary for this. He was given his award at a ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral Chapter House on Friday 9th January by the chairman of Ecclesiastical Insurance, Mr Nicholas Sealy.

Altogether 23 members of the clergy received awards from Ecclesiastical Insurance at the ceremony.
