The Rodings, Easters and Gt Canfield have been working together as a group of ten churches since 2012 and this relationship was confirmed by the appointment of Revd Robert Stone as Priest-in-Charge of the ten churches in 2020. For the last year the Churchwardens and Deanery have supported a draft diocese pastoral scheme which will make the legal change to our current three benefices (sub groups of churches) into a single benefice comprising all ten churches. Please note there is no change to the parish structure and PCCs, this all continues as is. The draft pastoral scheme has now reached public consultation, it can be read at this <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/consultation/Rodings">link</a> or please email us for a copy. If you wish to comment either in support or objection, your comments must be submitted by midnight on Monday 15th August 2022.<br>
