Western Union

The Council met at Bridgwater Chapel on the morning of 20th June 2009. The focus for future Ministers and ministry continues to receive close attention in the absence of paid full time Ministers.  Thanks were paid to the Midland Union for making available some copies of their 2001 publication The ABC of Lay Preaching.
Lay Training, led by Bernard Omar,  was the focus of the Western Unitarian Development Group Meeting in the afternoon which was attended by some twelve people representing some eight congregations. A Training Workshop is being considered for September.

Bristol Interfaith Group

The AGM will be held at Unitarian Meeting Bristol on 16th July at 1900 hours. Subscribers will have received due notice and an explanatory statement.   Interfaith activities in Bristol will probably be organised differently in the future.
