Meeting with Bishop Richard

A good number of parishioners were in attendance. We learned that things, in the deanery, will have to change more quickly than originally thought. There will probably be two main administrative hubs in the diocese: Worthing and Littlehampton. Parishes are asked now: to find more creative ways of working together, rather than replicating the same things across the deanery in each individual parish; to pursue the idea of a deanery newsletter, so that events and information can be shared across the whole deanery; look at ways in which the schools and the parishes might work more succesfully together. Worthing Deanery consists of: Worthing & Lancing, Goring, High Salvington, East Preston, Littlehampton & Rustington and Shoreham & Steyning. What suggestions might you have?
