Those of you who attended the latest circuit Meeting would have been privileged to hear the guest speakers here is a little bit of information about their calling.

Bishop Nick writes ...

From Pakistan to Bradford

In 2001 The Revd Dominic Moghal responded to god's call to come to the Diocese of Bradford to help the church in its engagement with the growing number of people of Pakistan heritage. At that time, Dominic was director of the Christian Study Centre in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

In 2007 Dominic was ordained at Bradford Cathedral. He served a curacy at St Saviours Fairweather Green and is currently Community Outreach Priest in the Bradford Moor Cluster. Dominic's wife Awais has been active in the same field working at the Touchstone Methodist Centre in Bradford advocating and promoting interfaith and intercultural understanding. Awais has over 10 years experience of networking, project managements, and coordinating and liaising with people of different faiths and cultures.

We have benefited enormously in the diocese of Bradford from Dominic's work as a consultant in interfaith relations, his teaching, his wisdom and advice, his ministry as a priest and his ability to help churches to reach out to their Muslim neighbours.

From Bradford to Pakistan

Dominic and Awais have recently been accepted as CMS mission partners preparing to go to Pakistan. They will be providing theological and missiological support to the churches in Pakistan through visiting lectures, leadership, training, mentoring and pastoral care. This is in response to a specific request of the Diocese of Hyderabad, church of Pakistan, as well as CMS.

Pakistan is at a critical stage in its history and Awais and Dominic will seek to support work between the minority faith communities and the majority Muslim community both within the country and internationally. they will engage with the leaders of other faiths, facilitating research, promoting understanding and faith sharing. They will also facilitate exchange visits. We hope that this will include visits to and from Bradford and Pakistan as well as elsewhere. This is not an easy call for either of them.

Mission Partners for your Church?

You may already support mission partners in your church and this is not to ask you to change course in any way - but perhaps some who read this might be looking for a mission partner to support? It would be great if Dominic and Awais can be supported and sent by churches in the Diocese of Bradford.

You may prefer to make a one off donation to show support - that too would be appreciated. Donate now.

Can I commend dominic and Awais to you all for your prayers as they make preparations to leave Pakistan in the summer. Please also pray for their children who remain here.

Yours ever in Christ.

Message from the Ministry Team

By
Dear friends By the time you read this, we will already be a month through this new year. Where does the time go? It really does seem to go by ever more quickly, as each year passes. For children who have returned to school after the Christmas and New Year break, next Christmas will seem an age away. When I started secondary school, I couldn’t imagine getting to the end of school at 18. I worked out that I would be 35 at the turn of the century, but that seemed impossibly far away. So what makes time seem to pass quickly? After all, each week is made up of seven days and each day has 24 hours, whatever our age or stage in life. Responsibilities play a part: there are things we need to do at certain times, and any deadline always makes us aware of time ticking away as we approach it. We accrue responsibilities as we grow older and take on more senior positions at work, or have a family to look after. At church, we ta

Bradford Youth Fellowship Group

By
The fellowship group is a great way for the youth of the church to get together, share what they believe and discuss what Christianity as a whole teaches us. It's a place where we are all fully comfortable to be ourselves, share our opinions and know we won't be judged by others. The fact that the fellowship group is currently running as a combination of both North and South Bradford has allowed us to meet new people, make new friends, have a good laugh, all at the same time as learning from each other. It's also a good place to go to when things are getting tough in life as we're likely to talk about matters and issues that are personal and relevant to our age group.  There's been numerous times when I have walked in with an issue on my mind and leave with an action plan or new perspective on how to tackle the issue. I feel the way that we ease into every session rather than diving straight into the deep
