On Monday, 7th November, Bishop Malcolm launched You are Living Stones, a consultation on the parochial structure of the Diocese of Nottingham. This will affect every parish in the Diocese, and all parishioners are asked to read the document, reflect upon it and discuss it among
themselves and with their parish priests.
The Bishop said: ‘I hope that as we begin this prayerful consultation, we will be willing to
embrace what is right for the Church in our local communities. Always having the Lord as our source of inspiration and goal, we need to make sure that the Church in our Diocese has a strong basis for building into the future. To do this, we must work together to express that desire of
St Peter when he wrote that we “may be living stones making a spiritual house as a holy
priesthood to offer the spiritual sacrifices made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ”. May this consultation be a source of great joy, blessing and hope for us all.’
