The Churches Together Movement

The various Christian denominations are working together today more and more as they realise that it is time to put behind the divisions of previous generations and work together in the realisation that there is only one Church.

Jesus prayed "That they may all be one... that the world may believe" (John 17:21). The Churches Together movement (or "Ecumenical" movement) is seeking the fulfillment of that prayer. Whilst recognising that there are differences of belief, opinion and practice, there is also a lot that unites the different streams of the Church.

This has its outworking at all levels, from local communities, right up through county and national level, to the Worldwide Church. Derby Church Net works mostly at the more local levels, and is supported by Churches Together in Derbyshire, an enabling body that works across the county to encourage and unite people from different denominations.
