A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Stephen
Bishop Stephen has written to the people of the Diocese of Lincoln, following the conclusion of the Makin Review four-step process.
Read the storyWith daffodils and crocus aplenty, our churchyards point towards the coming of spring. So too this latest edition of the Church Buildings Team’s Bulletin looks to the future. In particular it looks at the new grant programme from the National Heritage Lottery Fund – Our Heritage 2033 – and how that could be beneficial to church buildings. We look forward to Heritage Open Days and the West Lindsey Open Churches Festival later in the year and look at how the timeless drawings of John Claude Nattes demonstrates the ever-changing faces of our church buildings and we focus on the work of the DAC’s stained glass adviser who has also written about the cleaning of stained glass. With our feet firmly on the ground in the present we look at carpeting in churches and give our usual rundown of training, dates and useful information which we hope will be useful to all of those who care for our built heritage. As ever, if you have a question or query then please do get in touch with churchbuildings@lincoln.anglican.org
