Amanda Evans
The Funeral and Service of Thanksgiving for the late Revd Amanda Evans will take place in the Quire of Canterbury Cathedral at 11am on Monday 16th January 2012. All are welcome to attend. To assist with seating and catering arrangements please let Victoria Greatorex know of your intentions by emailing: vgreatorex@diocant.org or telephoning: 01227 459401.
Amanda's coffin will be received on Sunday evening and the Cathedral open from 9am on Monday morning for those who would like to come and pray prior to the service.
Clergy and readers are invited to robe, please also let Victoria know of your intention so that there is adequate seating available. Please wear cassock alb or cassock and surplice with white stole or reader's scarf. Those robing should assemble in the Chapter House by 10.45am.
Following the service there will be a reception in the Cathedral Study Centre for Amanda's friends from the Diocese, The Living Well and further afield. It is hoped that you will be able to share the hospitality offered in celebration of her life and ministry as Amanda would have liked. Her children, Simon and Sarah and other family members will be leaving straight after the service for the burial in Ringmer and will not attend this reception. Please remember them in your prayers.

The Living Well charity is a resource for the healing ministry within the Diocese of Canterbury. It is based at Nonington*, near Canterbury, in a lovely large detached house, within peaceful grounds. By providing a base and resource in the Diocese for the Christian ministry of wholeness and healing, our aim is to make the healing and wholeness found in Jesus available to all people.
We aim to provide a safe place where people can come to learn more about the healing love of Christ, through the medium of Quiet Days, and teaching and training on specific subjects related to the ministry of healing.
The Living Well is a resource for prayer and development for both laity and clergy. We offer a range of one-off sessions and short courses for personal growth and development as well as more specific training for involvement with the healing ministry. We also offer one-to-one support and ministry.
The Fellowship of Healing and Wholeness has existed in Canterbury Diocese since 1980, in order to support and equip all those interested in undertaking and practising Christs ministry of healing in our own day.
