Adobe® Acrobat® Reader™, Download Instructions
(you might find it useful to print out these instructions before continuing)

In order to make it easier to read or print some of the information on our web pages, we are now using  what is known as a .pdf file . Your Internet Browser may not automatically read this format, but there is a FREE plug-in program for PCs or Macs that you can download, called Adobe Acrobat Reader. Once you have downloaded this once, your browser will be upgraded and you will be able to read subsequent editions of the Coracle, and print Posters, the Prayer Diary etc. - and many other similar files on the Web. Please note that if you have a standard modem connection the program will take a long time to download (size: 8-10 MB)

N.B. We hope these instructions are helpful, but we cannot provide support for Adobe Acrobat Reader - that is Adobe's role!
