Aims
The aim of Black Country Churches Engaged is to work towards the common good and the unity which Christ wills for humankind.
In engagement with the world, it will:
- specifically relate to the Black Country Consortium,
- seek to share in partnership with other organisations and structures, and
- enable the churches to speak with a common voice.
In engaging the churches together, it will:
- operate as the Sponsoring Body for Local Ecumenical Partnerships, providing
guidance and support to existing LEPs, and advice concerning potential new ones,
- encourage shared prayer and worship,
- stimulate common mission and service in the world through local ecumenism,
e.g. Local Ecumenical Partnerships, Councils of Churches and Churches Together
groups,
- challenge denominations at every level to think and act together and share resources,
- function as intermediate link between the local, the regional and the national
ecumenical scene, valuing specifically its association with the West Midlands
Region Churches’ Forum and Churches Together in England.
Within the churches, and with other partners, it will:
- engage in the study of social issues and community concerns with a view to action
where appropriate.
