Congratulations! It’s a Team!

After several years of work behind the scenes, the Diocese has created a new Team Parish, joining All Souls’ and St. Aidan’s churches to create the parish of “Leeds: All Souls and St. Aidan”. St. Aidan’s Church (www.staidan-leeds.org.uk) is a Grade II* listed building in Harehills, and the home of the Brangwyn Mosaics. It has a multi-national congregation and a warm, open Anglo-Catholic liturgy supported by a robed choir. The Eritrean Orthodox Church meets at St. Aidan’s on Sunday afternoons. On a practical level, many things will remain the same: To contact All Souls’ clergy, phone 0113 216 2674 or email vicar@allsoulsleeds.org.uk To contact St. Aidan’s clergy, phone 0113 248 6992/0113 267 5893 or email clergy@staidan-leeds.org.uk. Good news if you are planning your wedding! If you live in All Souls’ parish, you now “qualify” to be married at St. Aidan’s church, and vice versa. Beyond these practicalities, what is the point of the Team? Our prayer is that, moving away from the traditional “one church-one vicar” model, we will learn to work together—priests and people—and so be better able to serve the people of Leeds in our area. We ask for your prayers in the process!
