Welcome to Inclusive Church
We are a network of individuals and organisations whose make-up reflects the breadth and scope of the Church of England and beyond.
We come from differing traditions and differing locations but we are united in one aim: to celebrate and maintain the traditional inclusivity and diversity of the Anglican Communion. We are committed to ensuring that those who are excluded because of their poverty, different abilities, ethnic origin or any other reason can play their full part in the Gospel of Jesus Christ's unconditional love.
As Archbishop Tutu said - "Christ, when he was lifted up, did not say 'I draw some people to myself.' He said 'I draw all, all, ALL!'
We are very concerned that the Church of England is seen by many as withdrawing from its historic commitment to serve the whole community, and becoming more like a membership "club" which accepts people only on its own terms.
We are working to break down the barriers to full inclusion at all levels of the Anglican Communion. This means that it is essential that women can be bishops and that lesbian and gay people - both in relationships and single can be ministers. As part of full inclusion, we believe the Church should be offering services of thanksgiving and blessing to those entering Civil Partnerships.

This is a new website - we hope you find it interesting and helpful. We would welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions for inclusion. We are no longer displaying the Petition as it's now four years old. If you wish your church to be listed please click on "churches" above.
