We have just published a collection of experiences from across the Diocese.<\/p>\n
This publication, Buildings on Sure Foundations<\/b><\/i>, tells stories of how buildings that lay locked and empty have been reopened through a commitment of time, money and energy from those who longed to see them filled by new worshipping communities.<\/p>\n
It also records simple things: an open door, a new way of using a space, a new welcome to the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was glad when they said to me, \u201d\u02dclet us go to the house of the Lord!’\u201d\u009d
\nPsalm 122:1<\/i><\/p>\n
We hope to recount all these in more detail through Capital Vision 2020: the tale of one hundred new and renewed worshipping communities, and church buildings opened up to the communities around them; stories of possibilities in new and old places.<\/p>\n
London\u2019s churches are as varied and colourful as London\u2019s communities. They are places where different strands come together, both temporal and eternal: places of quiet and prayer in a busy city; places of history and beauty; places of celebration and mourning; places of splendid ceremony and ministering to the poor.<\/p>\n
Churches are also places where international visitors of all faiths and none can connect with God.<\/p>\n
They are buildings on sure foundations, built with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone.<\/p>\n
