From Murray

As I write this we have just had a visit from the Ecclesall clergy chapter. This is the group of local Church of England clergy which I am part of.   We began with a short Communion Service which I led in the Chancel and then met for lunch in the Meeting Place which flowed into our discussion.  People were very appreciative of our reordering, and some had not seen it before.  We were mainly talking about Mission Partnerships and the implications for us as a chapter.  I was pleased to hear that St Chad’s have just launched their plans for the reordering of their church.  They would like to do something like we have done at St Paul’s!
