Background to Diocesan Pastoral Reorganisation in Cornwall (external links open in a new window)

Diocese has a new website since Lent 2012 and these links won't always work but you can find some items there. We'll update them asap.

• New Canonical Parishes come into effect (Diocesan website article 2008)

• Update letter 29th January 2007, from Bishop Christopher

• Pastoral Re-Organisation – Principles, Strategy and Framework (Diocesan website article 2007)

"The body [Christ's Church] is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.... The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the feet, 'I don't need you!' God has combined the members of the body ... so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other." 1 Corinthians 12:12, 21, 24-25 (NIV)

Prayer “God our Father, open the horizons of our minds and hearts so that we can see what hope Your call holds for us.
Pour out the overflowing gifts of Your Spirit so that we, Your Church, may become a people of hope for our world.
We ask you this, through Jesus Christ Our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.
Our Lady, Mother of Hope, pray for us. St Peter, Rock of Hope, pray for us. St Paul, Apostle of Hope, pray for us”
