Tory MP supports letter writing campaign to Save the Parish
from Religion Media Centre:
The Conservative MP Chris Loder, a lifelong Anglican, and some time churchwarden and church organist, spoke at a recent Save the Parish conference calling for a letter writing campaign to MPs, warning them that parish churches are under threat.
Save the Parish reports that he said parish churches are more at risk in rural than urban areas and Parliament’s support was necessary to safeguard them. He said it needed to better understand that churches offer “a focus of community spirit, prayer, and friendship, and a haven of peace”, and the forthcoming general election campaign provided a strategic opportunity to increase the profile of Save the Parish’s campaign.
This states parishes have been starved of cash and clergy, with churches facing closure, and offers a manifesto for change.
