How can we ensure that the pure Word of God is preached, and the Sacraments be duly ministered (to use the definition of the church in the 39 Articles) in every community, up and down the land?
How can we look after the churches which make up 45% of all Grade I listed buildings?
How can we continue to engage in community activities estimated at £55 billion of value a year?
Having well-trained priests embedding themselves in those communities and ministering in buildings designed for the purpose which reflect the deep and ongoing history of those communities would be the perfect place to start.
Save the Parish are offering a concrete set of proposals that we will advance to support parish, priest, and people.
