Your church congregation on Guardian Witness

This from The Guardian Witness.   CTI Churches may wish to make a contribution.

Who are the Christians in Britain today? On any given Sunday, there will be at least 2.5m people in churches of various sorts, but each congregation tends to be an island with little contact with others. So, we want you to share your photographs and videos of your own congregations, everywhere from converted units on an industrial estate to magnificent medieval cathedrals.

Update: Proposed reorganisation of the Dioceses of Bradford, Ripon & Leeds, and Wakefield

The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has announced that the Dioceses Commission Draft Reorganisation Scheme for the Dioceses of Bradford, Ripon & Leeds, and Wakefield will be put to General Synod in July.

Bishop Nick Baines says,  ”I am pleased that the Archbishop is asking the wider church through the General Synod to debate this matter. It is vital that the church has vision and can handle wise change.”

The proposal is that there would be a single diocese for West Yorkshire and the Dales made up of five areas (Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds, Ripon and Wakefield), each with their own area bishop. The Diocesan Bishop would be the Bishop of Leeds (and also the area bishop for Leeds). All three cathedrals would be retained on an equal basis (each with distinctive missional strategies).
