It’s an interesting, if exhausting, experience being part of the ecumenical process in both towns of Nailsea and Portishead. Throughout my ministry, in common with many other United Reformed Church clergy, I have felt called to work with whosoever, from whichever denomination, in order to further growth in the unity and mutual understanding of the worldwide Church. Two falls and the subsequent operations involved have, however, clipped my wings. In late 2010 and 2011 something had to give, other than my knees! And it was my links with other churches in the two towns which suffered, as I chose to concentrate my efforts on the two churches to which I was called.

At Nailsea URC we have supported Traidcraft for a number of years. We feel that their efforts to encourage world wide fair trade and their mission to fight poverty through trade, demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in a very practical way.
