Welcome to the ecumenical journey!

If you're discovering Churches Together in England for the first time, or if you have heard of them but know very little, they've put together a quick ‘What is CTE’ page to get you started

What is Churches Together in England?
Churches Together in England (CTE) is the national ecumenical instrument supporting and encouraging churches from a wide range of traditions to work together in unity. With churches drawn from the Anglican, Catholic, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Orthodox and Lutheran traditions, as well as Free Churches, Quakers and others, CTE unites one of the broadest range of churches in the whole of Europe. 



Their vision is to create the space in which fruitful collaboration and mutual understanding can grow, so that churches work more closely together in the great task of sharing in God’s mission and making the gospel of Christ known in England.  Their strapline is: One in Christ Jesus, engaged in God’s mission, empowered by the Spirit.
