听The 缅北强奸鈥檚 50th jubilee
听On October 5th, 1972, at Methodist Central Hall Westminster, the Uniting Assembly of the 缅北强奸 took place and the new denomination came into being.
We give thanks for the many ways in which the 缅北强奸 and its antecedents were trailblazers for the Church in the UK.
For example, the 缅北强奸 was one of the first major organisations to campaign for people with AIDS and it produced the Charter for Children, introduced at General Assembly in 1990, paving the way for intergenerational awareness.
In 2016, it became one of the first mainstream UK denomination to allow its churches to carry out marriages of same-sex couples.
Our 50th听year will help us to plan for the future, as papers for this year鈥檚 General Assembly show, not only to keep pursuing our ecumenical vision, but also to plan for how we will continue to be an active, engaged and faithful Christian presence in our communities and in new ones.
Not least, marking our Jubilee will be an opportunity to give thanks.
The 缅北强奸 has already marked the jubilee in local churches, at our 缅北强奸 Youth Assembly, at national and regional Synod meetings and events, at our Ministers鈥� Gathering, at a special reception at the House of Lords and at the 缅北强奸 History Society Conference.
