  9. New Ideas? • Can we encourage our churches to face new ways through our leadership? • Risk is part of our discipleship and should be revealed in our spirituality

  10. Peak Circuit • In rural context small Community closures ‘unimaginable’ • How do Ecumenical links help? • Problems with ecumencial boundaries • Nb. That C.of E. is often now working with small number of churches

  11. Joined up Working • Approach in York & Hull that attempted to link ecumenical work and plan together

  12. Learning From Others • Churches from ethinc groups have much to teach regarding essentials such as prayer

  13. Value of Teamworking • Pros and Cons with Teamworking • Sense of identification with a minister can be lost, causes pastoral problems? • Preacher is a facilitor in this situation • Prayer a priority, this is our business
