Back to Church Sunday: Tell Bishop John

(Ed: No, not the Chelmsford Bishop John, the Oxford one.)

Have you given up coming to church?

What stopped you?

Is there anything that might bring you back again?

As the new Bishop of Oxford, I’d like to hear your stories. I know people fall out of the habit of churchgoing for all sorts of reasons, sometimes simply because of a house move or a change in family circumstances.

Please let me know why you stopped coming to church – and what might change your mind.

Many churches in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire will be taking part in ‘Back to Church Sunday’ on 30 September and people will be inviting friends and neighbours to join them at Sunday worship.

It may be that someone will invite you along. But please remember you are always welcome in church, any time. It’s an open invitation. Visit the site
