Ribble Valley churches which are s till part of the Bradford Diocese almost 40 years after


■the1974countyboundary3^ r changesare waiting to hear if they w ill be transferred to a Lancashire diocese.


The A rch b ish op o f York,' Dr John Sentamu, has an- nounced that the Dioceses Commission draft reorgani-


. sationschemeforthedioceses o f Bradford; Ripon arid Leeds' and Wakefield will be put to. General Synod, the Church o f

' currentlyiriBradfordDiocese,’ - , which may f migrate’^ to Black-r burn Diocese as part of the re-:

Decision likely this summer after 4G-year wait would move the Ribble Valley


• organisation will have to wait • to hear the outcome of the fur­ ther deliberations, most likely inJuly.-


' - ‘ They already-know that


Blackburn would welcome them. ■


. , '


This is after a unanimous “yes” vote at the recent Black-


: burnDiocesanSynodmeeting 'meant it agreed to accept the parishes of Hurst Green; Mit?;. ton, Waddington, Grindleton,


•Boltomby-Bowland and Gis-/ burn. ■ Prior to the local govern­


; parishes to the Blackburn Di­ ocese.

T h is would e ffe c t iv e ly, bring the church into line with


: modern county boundaries. Dr Sentamu said: “Having


listened carefully to all the submissions made during the


.. consultation process, I know that there are strong views


/ about how we take forward this diocesan reorganisation. “However, it is clear that what must be at the centre is-


ment boundary changes o f ■ 1974 all these parishes were -


•TnYorkshireandtheyhavere- ■ mained part of the Bradford. ■ Diocese ever since.


. ■ Bradford, Ripon and Leeds, Sheffield and Blackburn dio-'


’ceses have all voted in favour ■ ofadraft scheme currently in ■


- progress to reorganise the ex- ■: . isting system, the scheme that ;


; our mission tobest serve peo-' , pie’s need wherever they live. ■'


'■^ ■ ■ “1 have written to the chair . o f the Dioceses Gommission;' authorising him to lay the draft scheme before the Gen- ■ ' eral Synod.

^debate and decide whether these proposals should be progressed.” '
