Church Society has launched its new Partner Church programme as a way to build fellowship and unity amongst more of their members and supporters.
Churches around England have committed to partner with them financially, in prayer, and in contending for the gospel. Partner Church members have been able to meet together in their Zoom Coffee Hours, including one specifically for lay leaders in the church – PCC members, Churchwardens, staff members.
A restricted-access Partner Church Resources section of the Church Society website has been launched and is constantly being updated. It includes information and resources on all kinds of issues. There’s a presentation on the problem of same-sex blessings, including leaders’ notes, a printable handout and a powerpoint presentation. There’s information about being a churchwarden, and advice on whether churchwardens can make their declaration at the archdeacon’s visitation, even when their archdeacon and/or bishop is a false teacher. There are resources to help with all kinds of practical and ministry issues in churches.
