HE’S a Methodist Minister who is just as comfortable helping people in a hospital or prison as he is within a church building. Rev. Tony Buglass believes “we can’t keep God in a box” and has made it his mission to take his work into a variety of different environments. The retired clergyman, who remains active as a Supernumerary Minister within the Tynedale Methodist Circuit, was recently acknowledged for another of his out-of-church commitments, receiving the prestigious Certificate of Meritorious Service, presented by the Duchess of Northumberland in a virtual ceremony. The honour acknowledged Tony’s commitment to working with cadets since 1994, and in particular, the way in which he has continued to fulfil his role as Hexham ATC squadron chaplain during the pandemic.
A CHARITY has launched a fundraising campaign to raise the money needed to buy a former Methodist Chapel, with the view of creating a new community hub. The Miners Lamp’s Crowdfunder follows a petition by Prudhoe Town Councillor Russ Greig, who is a trustee at the charity, to ‘save’ the building from development . The Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, in West Wylam, Prudhoe, has been marketed for sale by Foster Maddison and is billed as a ‘development opportunity’ – subject to planning and the lifting of covenants. “The Ebenezer Chapel is under threat. You can help us save it for the benefit of the community,” said Russ.
