    We've heard that one or two people have received emails pretending to be from members of our clergy team. These ones were pretty obviously from different addresses, even though they'd put our names on them. If you're not sure if an email you've received is genuinely from one of us, you can always start a new email to one of us to ask. (And if you ever get an email from me saying I don't like coffee it's definitely fake! 😎 Helen)
