Commenting on these historical partnerships, The Bishop said:

“We live in a highly mobile society. People in many professions experience churn and relocation. We have a number of churches in London which are spiritual anchor holds where professionals find familiarity and return particularly at climatic points in their lives, such as marriage and birth. What they find is a welcome but then often experience an ongoing connection. These churches provide a route to celebrate the great turning points and also to explore on an ongoing basis the spiritual depth of life that is worth living.”
