Church group urges denominations to share spaces to tackle poverty

Churches in Northamptonshire, Peterborough and Rutland including All Saints Church in Northampton are being asked to consider shared spacesThe Churches Together group that covers Northamptonshire, Peterborough and Rutland said it was reacting to "rising energy bills and worsening poverty".

The group is made up of Christian denominations including Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, United Reformed and the Salvation Army. It said this was "an unparalleled act of unity" in the face of rising costs and "uncertainty and anxiety at the extraordinary challenges" faced by people."Indeed, the local churches fear they will not be able to meet the increasing demands put upon them.

"The cold and hungry are not interested whether those who care for them are of a particular denomination; therefore, as disciples of Jesus, we need to come together as one," the letter said.
