On these pages we are gathering a variety of resources which may be of specific use to church leaders and area and regional leaders who are working in specific denominations and who wonder how  they can work more closely with partners in other churches.

In the adventurous areas of mission initiatives and ' fresh expressions of church life,'* and as we look for new ways of offering gospel hope and reconciliation to people in a fluid society, issues surrounding the licensing of ordained ministers and the conduct of public worship do not normally arise.

The Church of England and the Methodist Church are among those who are already collaborating both locally and more widely in ways that are outside the scope of more formal arrangements.

Away from the inherited structures of buildings, ordained ministers and public worship, almost anything is possible consistent with Gospel values!

Click on one of the buttons to the left to discover a variety of resource material and guidelines from Churches Together in England.

*A key new area of joint working is 'Fresh Expressions', - an autonomous initiative sponsored by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and supported by the Methodist Conference.
