Pershore & Evesham Deanery recently held a discussion meeting led by the Revd Alison Maddocks, Dean of Smaller Churches, looking at “Our Vision of Church & Resourcing Ministry for this Deanery” at All Saints Church, Evesham.
The meeting was very well attended with 95 people coming along to share their views.
They were asked to consider what is needed to be a healthy church, what the church will look like in 5 years’ time, and how to develop a culture of thinking beyond benefice boundaries?
Plenty of suggestions were put forward and the Deanery Synod will now be tasked with taking these ideas forward and develop a strategy for future development.
