Declaration of Ecumenical Welcome
Declaration of Ecumenical Welcome
1. We, the Vicar and people of St Luke's are aware that there may be Christians of traditions different from our own who wish, while remaining loyal to a particular denomination, to worship and witness with us. We wish to declare formally that we welcome them into our life and fellowship as fully as they are able and that we commit ourselves to honouring their belonging to a different Christian tradition.
2. We invite those of Christian traditions other than our own
to share in the ministry and mission of the Church in the community we serve;
to worship and, if baptized and communicant members of other churches, to receive Holy Communion at St Luke's
to be part of the decision-making of St CC’s and to contribute to a common fund for the mission and ministry of the wider Church in so far as their continued giving to another church will allow.
3. We undertake
to respect the membership and seek to learn from the experience of Christians of traditions other than our own;
to give pastoral care to all those who desire it;
to invite ministers or lay members of other churches to take part in leading worship;3
to incorporate the riches of worship of other traditions as appropriate into our own;
to consult with neighbouring churches concerning the mission of the Church in Aford;
to include this ecumenical declaration as an integral part of the parish profile.
4. We have sought and followed the advice of ecumenical officers and authorities of our partner churches as to which churches should first be consulted, and those churches mentioned below have given us their blessing and encouragement.

In order to continue to keep St Luke's open, so that everyone in the neighbourhood can enjoy our church and churchyard and we can continue to provide Sunday services, weddings, funerals and baptisms, we need money to pay for repairs, heating, lighting, water, insurance and churchyard maintenance. To keep everyone safe, we need to pay for electrical appliances to be tested annually and defective items replaced. We also need to pay our "Parish Share" to the diocese of Chester. This covers the stipend for our vicar and important services to the parish, including training for churchwardens and PCC members, particualrly around safeguarding.
If ou would like to make a donation to help us to cover these rising costs an so enable St Luke's to continue to serve Dunham Hill and Hapsford into the next decade, please contact our treasurer, who will be happy to tell you how you can give through a direct bank transfer. you can find his email address and telephone number on our Whos Who page.
