The Church of England

The Church of England We're a Christian presence in every community across England and in Europe.

Like our page to learn more about the work we do from churches, cathedrals and Christian communities. The Church of England has more than 16,000 churches and 45 cathedrals, serving every part of the country and across Europe. The roots of the Church of England go back to the time of the Roman Empire when Christianity entered the Roman province of Britain. Through the influences of St Alban, St Ill

tud, St Ninian, St Patrick and, later, St Augustine, St Aidan and St Cuthbert, the Church of England developed, acknowledging the authority of the Pope until the Reformation in the 16th century. The changes that have taken place in the Church of England over the centuries have been many and various. What has remained constant, however, has been the Church's commitment to the faith 'uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds,' its maintenance of the traditional three fold order of ministry, and its determination to bring the grace of God to the whole nation through word and sacrament in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Join us at 9am this Sunday for our online service for Education Sunday led by Rev Hannah Currin, alongside students and teachers from across the parish of Oldham.

We will be looking at the theme of living well together, learning from scripture and hearing how the diverse schools of Oldham are creating spaces for students from different backgrounds to meet together to listen and to learn from one another.

We will also be praying for students, teachers and those who work in all aspects of education to create places where our children can flourish.

Whether you're exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for spiritual encouragement, you are warmly invited to worship with our growing online community across England and beyond.
