Clitheroe leads way in new form of church


Special service sees pioneer ministries launched by Bishop


By EdwardLee edward.lee®jpress.co.uk Twitter: @Edwardlee50


The Bishop of Burnley has formally launched Clitheroe Pioneer Ministries by licens­ ing the Rev. Andy Gray as an ordained pioneer minister in the town.


InaserviceatStPaul’sChurch, the Rt Rev. Philip North, said


that the Church increasingly needed to follow the exam­ ple of Jesus and do the unex­ pected. Pioneer ministers aim to


form fresh expressions of the church, especially for those who struggle with conven­ tional church. And Mr Gray, a former chil­


dren’s worker, said he was looking forward to engaging with the town’s new housing areas, and establishing new groups forthe town’s children.

Expressions initiative, fresh expressions.org.uk, was started in the same year by the archbishops of Canter­ bury and York with the Meth­ odist Council and now has a broad range of partner de­ nominations and organisa­ tions.
