Baptism Gift
A strategy to raise funds to help oppressed christians will be to sell and market the IPHER card as a gift programme for a ‘unique Baptism Gift.’
Baptism is a Christian ceremony when a baby is welcomed into the Church. It has holy (blessed by the priest) water, from a font, poured on its head three times – in the name of the father the Son and the Holy Spirit. It symbolises being “born again”. Jesus was baptised by his cousin, John the Baptist, in the River Jordan. Some churches baptise babies (and adults) by total immersion in water.
Christening is the giving of a Christian name at the time of baptism.
The terms “to be baptised” and “to be christened” have the same meaning and you may use either. They belong together.
The IPHER IS ‘An individual personal health electronic record.’ A small device that plugs into a computer through the computers USB drive. Each IPHER carries the unique patient practioners programme. This system will store the medical records of a single individual including x-ray images, dental records and dental x-rays, EICG graphs. The system also allows interaction with hospital, pharmacy. It is designed to allow patients the ability not only to control their own medical records, but input them in a format easily read by health care professionals.
The IPHER Baptism gift is now on sell through Social Ventures. Enquiries: jcordenlloyd@hotmail.com

Commanders that lead from the front.
Good article in the Daily Telegraph by Tim Collins ’ Commanders that lead from the front’ includes my late father Lt. Col Ian Corden-Lloyd OBE MC , who was killed in action in Northern Ireland in 1978 while commanding the 2nd Battalion the Royal Green Jackets.
Lt. Col Rupert Thorneloe was killed in action recently in Afghanistan, while commanding the 1st Battalion the Welsh Guards; a terrible loss to his family, friends and Regiment. My heartfelt condolences and sympathy to them, furthermore to all the soldiers that are lost in the line of duty in service to their country, regiments, families and loved ones. Unique Leaders and individuals who possess an exceptional inventory of qualities. God Bless them and may grace be with them always.
