International Stories


Over 40 people gathered from around Cambridgeshire, on 29th February 2024, at our International Stories event.


They met to hear stories of how local Christians from different denominations are learning about ministry, mission, and ecumenism through relating to Christians in India, Germany, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe, Thailand as well as hearing about the work of Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide.

 

The event was held at Bar Hill, an LEP church building, and was organised by Churches Together in Cambridgeshire.

Our New County Ecumenical Officer has started

Revd Mark Burleigh is a Baptist Minister who has served churches in Sussex and Leicester.  In each setting he was an enthusiastic supporter of ecumenical working with neighbouring churches, especially in mission.  He sees ecumenical work as an answer to the prayer of Jesus in John 17, that the unity of Jesus' disciples will mean "the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."

He also has experience in working with diverse Christians in ecumenical chaplaincies in university and healthcare, and has served as a healthcare chaplain for 30 years.  He currently also works part-time as a chaplain at a Sue Ryder hospice.
