Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Despite plenty of prayer, fasting, and our best efforts, I am saddened to announce that the Torsa project has not come to fruition.
Thankfully, we helped prevent the Islamists from purchasing the island, but it has since been taken off the market. For now, we will not be able to return it to Christendom.
I am encouraged by how much support this idea got, and the momentum we managed to build. Six thousand people raised over £160,000!
Thank you to each and every person who donated and/or prayed for our project. It is a testament to your faith that we got as far as we did.
I know many of you will be as disappointed as I am, but this is not the end. We must all do our bit to reclaim Christendom, to re-plant the flag for Christ and advance His Kingdom.
When I launched this project, I promised that if we were unable to purchase the island I would refund everyone. That is exactly what I have done. A few days ago I emailed all the donors to give them advanced notice, and I have spent a number of days negotiating with GiveSendGo to return the funds - to which they have agreed. The money was held in escrow with GiveSendGo, never touched my bank account or anyone else’s, and is being returned directly to backers. Once again, thank you for your trust.
Some people have requested that their donations be redirected to another good cause. I am unable to do this on an individual basis, so I will refund everyone and if you would like to re-donate your contribution, please feel free to do so. Your support is much appreciated and all donations will go to good use.

I am in the process of building a studio to be able to produce online content. Having moved to the US I no longer have access to the Lotus Eaters studio or Laurence Fox’s studio, so my Common Sense Crusade, Fox & Father and Evening Prayer are being filmed on my phone. I would love to improve the quality for you and create some new shows, including more interviews, exegetical content and Christian apologetics. Please help me to speak the truth publicly and spread the Good News.
When people are arrested for silently praying in their own heads, the mainstream media does not want to cover it. When patients are deemed unworthy of healthcare by the NHS, their passports are confiscated and they are gagged by the judiciary, again the legacy media does not want to inform you. We need to ensure we have platforms at the ready to expose these evils, and create communities to encourage each other in standing firm. With your help, we can build those networks without relying on Big Tech or the Establishment that only wants to censor us.
You are also, of course, invited to join us in worship at St Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, Grand Rapids, if you are ever in West Michigan.
I would like to give a special thanks to The National, Mail Online, Scottish Daily Express, Gript, The Publica, and Count Dankula for helping to promote the project, and to Jon and Sam for helping with all the admin.
God bless you all for your time and energy in helping us get this far.
Please keep me in your prayers. I am praying for you.
Grace be with you,
Fr Calvin Robinson
