He is also the co-author, with Linda Woodhead, of That Was The Church That Was: How the Church of England lost the English people, published by Bloomsbury.
This is an exciting time for us, as the North Wiltshire Mission Area (NWMA) comes into being. As Mission Enabler for NWMA, you will have an opportunity to work with the Vicar of Malmesbury and Upper Avon, and with the other incumbents in the Area, to set the direction of travel and help bring some of the ideas that the Holy Spirit is already sowing among us to fruition. We hope that you may be the person who God has in mind to come and partner with us in growing our evangelism and discipleship.
At this exciting urban evangelical church in Forest Gate, Newham, where East London meets Epping Forest, we are praying hard for the man or woman God is calling to be our vicar.
We’re looking for someone to join our Team here in beautiful north Essex. The Colnes are three villages within a Team of ten parishes. In recent years, we’ve strengthened community links, introduced new forms of worship, and seen encouraging signs of growth.
We seek a Vicar who is approachable, visible and has spiritual energy. Our new Vicar will be empathetic, a positive team-player and able to lead from the heart as well as the head. We are an urban, multicultural congregation looking for leadership to share God’s love with the people of Pleck and Bescot.
St Mary’s is located on the outskirts of Harlow in West Essex. We are committed to being Word-fed and Spirit-led and are excited at the opportunities for making Jesus known in our expanding parish.
