Letters to the Editor | Church Times
“Bishop Richard Llewellin is right that amalgamating parishes into megaparishes is a disastrous strategy that, as the Church’s own research tells us, drives decline in church attendance and giving. There is now plenty of evidence that shrinking the C of E is the obvious outcome of choosing to de-fund and asset-strip the parish system. It seems an astonishing dereliction of duty that some of the dioceses, charities all, are nevertheless pursuing the mega-parish model.”
