We are so grateful for the many prayers that have been offered for the Baptist Union Council which has met this week.  You will be aware we have spent much time with the question posed to Council in March 2022 regarding Ministry and Marriage as defined in the Ministerial Recognition Rules.

This video gives an update from our General Secretary Lynn Green about the outcome of Council's discernment.
