THE DVD ON PASTORAL REORGANISATION IN LEEDS
was shown to a small group last Tuesday. It may be that
some of you have already seen it, or that we didn’t pick a
convenient time. We’ll have another try early in the New
Year, and there’ll be an opportunity before the end of
March to discuss, in particular, a response to the
Bishop’s 5 questions:
1. How effective is our mission?
2. What are our own needs?
3 How can we use our resources effectively?
4. Should some areas of the city be given a more
generous provision than others?
5. How do we serve our immigrant communities?
THE STREET CHAPLAINS will take to the streets again
from 10.00pm - 1.30am on Friday 12th & 19th
December. Details later. People are needed to work in
small groups or to staff the base at Holy Trinity Church.
