Celebration of Chaplaincy
Celebration of Chaplaincy
Gale Richards, Chair of Churches Together in Cambridgeshire, spoke at the Celebration of Chaplaincy service in Ely Cathedral on Saturday 6th July.
Gale is a patron of Cambridge Workplace Chaplaincy as CTC is very supportive of their ministry. There are close links between our two organisations. The service was open to everyone from all denominations as it was very much an ecumenical event.
Ecumenical Networking Lunch
Ecumenical Networking Lunch
We shared our first gathering of LEP church leaders over Pizza on 15th May 2024 at Lighthouse Church, Ely (thanks to them for their hospitality).
It is an important part of our work to support churches where Christians of various denominations are worshipping and serving together. Meeting together in this way led to lots of useful conversations and learning from each other.
First Service at Marleigh

On Sunday 28th April 2024 the first service of worship took place in the new Marleigh estate in Cambridge with over 90 people attending. Local Anglican and Baptist churches supported the local residents as they seek to establish a worshipping Christian community on the site.
Mark Burleigh, our Ecumenical Officer, attended and said, "It was great to see local Christians working so well together for the sake of all the residents in the new homes. The Spirit of God is moving!"

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

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.
