Welcome
Update May 2010
Another Alliance!
We celebrated the inauguration of a new Local Ecumenical Partnership in Weaverham on 9th May. St Mary’s Ecumenical Church is a partnership between Anglicans and Methodists. They have been drawing closer together for some time and worshipping as one congregation since last September. The service marked a formal recognition of the partnership. Rt Revd Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead preached on the valley of the dry bones and encouraged the new partnership to live out its mission in order to bring new life to their community, countering the dryness and emptiness which characterises some parts of life in modern society.
Revd Peter Barber, Chair of the Chester and Stoke Methodist District, presided at communion, and during the service ministers, congregation members and Church leaders signed the Statement of Ecumenical Vision.

The Joy of Work?
This slightly cautious question was answered with a resounding “Yes!” by participants at the recent morning conference organised in Warrington.
The keynote address ‘The Undivided Disciple’ by Peter Sinclair of After Sunday was enthusiastically received, especially his affirmation of Christians’ involvement in a wide range of working environments not limited to that of paid employment. His combination of wit & deep insight was very helpful as we considered how we encounter and respond to God in the whole of life. His presentation can be downloaded from http://www.aftersunday.org.uk/
