New District brings challenge and creativity
   
From the beginning of September, the Methodist Church in the region has taking on a new shape, helping it to work more effectively to enrich and serve communities.
The Revd Anne Brown, is the  Chair of the Bedfordshire, Essex and Hertfordshire District.

Speaking of the new challenges to be faced, Anne said; “This change presents us with the opportunity to engage with our communities in more suitable, creative and flexible ways. In particular we want to relate to areas where there are planned new housing developments; continue to build on the existing good ecumenical work and focus more on rural communities. 
“We are looking forward to working more closely with the East Anglia District as together we cover almost the whole of the East of England government region. With the help of our new Training and Development Officer, Richard Armiger and the Church and Community Development Officer, the Revd Dr Tony Barker the district policy committee is looking forward to leading the district in new and creative ways. We’ve got a great team who are enthusiastic and committed to the mission opportunities of this new district.”
It is estimated that the District will have over 11,000 members, with 210 churches across the region.

The launch of the Bedfordshire, Essex and Hertfordshire District took place in Chelmsford Cathedral on 31 August.
