Dismembering the Longdon, Bushley, Castlemoreton, Queenhill Benefice | Worcester Diocese

In two years time, we will lose our Vicar. He will not be replaced, though discussions are taking place about merging our Parish with another. If this does happen, the number of Churches within the Group will be around 10 which means that St Nicholas will be serviced by a stipendiary Priest on an ad hoc basis, if at all.

A West Somerset Church | Anonymous, Bath & Wells Diocese

The visitors’ book is full of people from all over the world who appreciate the historic and sacred value of this very special little Church that could survive the upkeep costs and general running expenses without the heavy burden of Parish Share.

"Priests are happy when they are released...How often have I heard retired clergy celebrate their newfound freedom: “I’m finally doing what I was ordained to do.”

Cornwall has become the latest diocese to throw good money after shiny pipe-dreams while forcing good ordinary parish ministry to wither and die without proper funding. The Bishop of Truro cannot continue to refuse to meet his flock. Let’s pray for a change of heart. https://twitter.com/neilwallis1/status/1525021528563359744

If you live in Cornwall, read this! Go to church regularly, or just at Christmas or Easter? Please read. Go to weddings, baptisms or funerals, or just enjoy having a local vicar & historic buildings? This affects you - Please, read & RT #SaveTheParish https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2022/13-may/news/uk/parishioners-fear-brutal-cuts-to-clergy-posts
