There will be a preliminary meeting of an "Open Churches" group on Wednesday 23rd July from 7-9 at St Wilfrid's Kibworth. The meeting will be led by Canon Philip Norwood with invited representatives form each church which is kept open during the week. The purpose of the meeting will be to celebrate the good things which are already happening within the partnership in this area of witness and to draw up a code of good practice, both to enhance what is already being done and to commend the idea of open churches to other parishes.
