We are one among many groups who together make up Churches Together in England.
“Churches Together in England is the national body set up by the churches in 1990, and has partner bodies in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Churches Together in Britain and Ireland is the successor body to the British Council of Churches, and co-ordinates the work of the four nations.
Churches Together in England is a visible sign of the Churches' commitment as they seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another, and proclaim the Gospel together by common witness and service. Its strength comes from people from different traditions finding new ways to work and worship together.”

“Denomination” is the name given to a particular group of individual congregations who while spread over a large area, regionally, nationally or even internationally, are nevertheless linked by their commitment to a common pattern of doctrine, worship and church government. It is often used as an alternative term for “Church” as in “The Methodist Church”, for example.
