Auctioning the manse.

While there are quite a lot of auctions at this time of year, a recent one in our area had some significance for a number of us.  It was the auction of the Church manse, sold by decree of the Synod in order to raise funds to pay off the debt resulting from the Acacia College debacle.  There have been a lot of reports about this, here's just one.  

Locally, as I've previously mentioned, the impact has been that the manse has been sold and it's planned that Church hall will be re-configured to provide accommodation for a couple of Church agencies (whose present accommodation is being sold).   Change is indeed upon us.
