Methodist Ecumenical News: Mission Shaped and Ecumenical

Tuesday, 13 September 2011. This post is the fourth in a sequence examining some of the issues raised in a new report, ' A Review of Intermediate Ecumenical Life in England. To be published by Churches Together in England in a few weeks time. Today, I will reflect upon the role of LEPs. The following are the conclusions at the end of Chapter 9:.
