Churches Together
Through the Church and the Marshalswick Mass Centre, our parish is involved in two Churches Together organisations
There are many different Christian churches and denominations, but all have
the same basic calling: to worship God, to share the good news about Jesus
Christ and to work for the good of all people. So they often
need to work together - and to co-ordinate the work they each do separately.
When they do, they are acting as Churches Together.
For
both St Albans and Marshalswick, the role of Churches Together is to help
and encourage the Churches to work more closely together in their work and
witness. In St Albans and Marshalswick (as in the other 1200 places
in England where local churches have formed themselves into ecumenical groupings,
usually called "Churches Together in .."), local Christians engage in a wide
variety of activities together – meeting for worship, discussion, prayer
and practical service in the community.
But
being Churches Together means more than that. It means commitment by each
church and denomination to deepen its fellowship with the others, and - without
losing what makes each interestingly different - to work with them towards
a greater visible unity.
