St. Augustine'S Rugeley

A date for the diary: Sat June 13th Family Day at St Augustine’s. Lots of events including vintage cars!

The Church of England churches in Rugeley, Brereton and Armitage with Handsacre are committed to radical, faithful inclusion. It was therefore with sadness that we read the recently published statement from the House of Bishops following the introduction of Civil Partnerships for heterosexual couples. Whilst we recognise the church’s teaching we also want to support ... and encourage people who are entering loving, faithful and stable relationships of all kinds and joyfully celebrate their love for one another. We will continue to offer a generous response to all those from our communities who ask for the opportunity to come to church around the time of their Civil Partnership or Marriage, whilst keeping within the bishops’ guidelines. We wish it to be known that we believe that we are all loved by God regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, ability or sexuality and our churches will continue to remain as a beacon of light and hope for all who feel excluded by the church.
