Christian Unity in Tadley

Pete Hughes from St Michael’s Tadley shares news of an Ecumenical service during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity organised by Churches Together Around Tadley…

Churches Together Around Tadley ventured beyond Tadley to the 12th century church of St Mary the Virgin in Silchester, Roman Calleva Attrebatum, for the annual Unity Service on Sunday afternoon, 21st January. The church is rather remote and located just within the ancient walls of the Roman city and in very poor weather it was good to welcome representatives from all the local church communities.

Rev  Karen West, the resident Anglican Vicar of Silchester wrote on Monday – “On behalf of CTAT and Ministry team colleagues, I’m writing to say an enormous THANK YOU to you all for supporting us hosting the Unity service yesterday. It was so good to be able to welcome our brothers and sisters in Christ to our beautiful Church and to offer them generous hospitality.”
