Huge apologies to those of you who could not get on to the Zoom meeting tonight. We failed to take into consideration that our Zoom license only allows for meetings of up to 100 participants. We are so grateful for the number of people who desired to attend the meeting tonight but unfortunately some people were locked out once we maxed out our 100 limit.
In light of this, it was decided that the meeting could not go ahead and has been postponed until next week. The details of the meeting will be announced on Sunday but it is likely to be a hybrid meeting - both in person in the Seminary and online via Zoom to take place on Wednesday 23rd March.
Please pass this information on to others you may know, especially those who don’t have email or internet access.
Thank you for your understanding and patience!
