LOCAL CHURCHES
MAKE HISTORY
On Sunday 26th November 2000 the Brigg and Barton Methodist Circuits and the Yarborough Deanery Synod of the Diocese of Lincoln made History.
The two Superintendent Ministers and the Rural Dean, together with the Synod Lay Chairperson and senior Circuit Stewards signed a unique partnership for Ecumenical Mission. The Bishop of Lincoln and the chairman of the Methodist District also added their signatures.
Catholics host unique Anglican/Methodist unity event
St Mary's Catholic Church, Brigg, was the venue when 250 worshippers from the 52 Churches in the Yarborough Deanery and the Brigg and Barton Circuits gathered to commit themselves to a new partnership in mission.
The Partnership is the first of its kind and opens a new way of developing greaterr collaboration and understand between Anglicans and Methodists in the area and should make it easier for local churches to share resources.
