The parochial system which we have inherited was based on a largely rural society in which most people lived, worked, married, raised a family and died all in the same place.

 

The circumstances of peoples’ lives today could hardly be more different, and there is an urgent need for the Church to adapt its own structures, and thus to witness more powerfully to a society hungry for spiritual meaning.

 

Our proposals for LOCAL MINISTRY GROUPS are made in the firm belief that, if they are adopted, they will enable the Church to face honestly those parts of its life which need to change, and to move into a new era of growth, and of readiness for mission and ministry in today’s world.
