New Chair of the District, Revd Helen Hollands
In September 2024, we welcome Revd Helen Hollands as our new Chair of the East Anglia District.
A Pastoral Letter
‘Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’ (Rev. 3:22)
Dear Friends,
Apparently, there is an African proverb which says, ‘Listening is the most difficult skill to learn and the most important to have!’
Our recent trip to Harare West District, Zimbabwe, has taught me the value of this African saying, for even before we left the UK, the members of our party were united in their conviction, that first and foremost we were there to listen, observe, and learn from our sisters and brothers in the Zimbabwean Methodist Church. Over a period of two weeks, we travelled the length and breadth of Harare West District, visiting projects, schools, orphanages, circuits rural and urban, and finally participating as guests in the District Synod. To say that it was an amazing trip feels like an understatement and I suspect that all of us are still processing the experience.
A Map Showing the Location of Churches in the District
You can zoom in on the map. Clicking on place markers will give the name of the church and also a link to its page on this site. The county areas of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk are shown on this map. Norfolk is shaded in a salmon colour, Suffolk pale blue and Cambridgeshire pale green.
