Local Churches Together groups
In a town or city suburb churches often group together to strengthen their witness to the local community. Such groups are where most people express their ecumenical relationships. They should not be just another church organisation for those who 'are keen on that sort of thing.' The question is which decisions should the churches be making together instead of separately.
Many such groups are long-standing. Some have a Covenant relationship to which local church leaders commit themselves publicly. Some are very active in united prayer and worship and social action, while others might focus on the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and/or Lenten study groups.
To find out details of a Churches Together Group local to you, contact the Ecumenical Officer in your county/city.
Links to Churches Together Groups
Many local Churches Together groups now have websites and we are in the process of putting together a list. At present the list is in the very early stages as we are only able to put links to those website of which we are aware, but we hope that the list will be built up over time. See list so far.
If you would like your local Churches Together site to be included, please let Edith Steele have the details and please include a link on your site to the Churches Together in England site.
