Homes plan will help parish priests to be priests again
I READ with interest about plans to build 1,000 new homes on Church of England land in Hereford. The pros and cons of this development I leave for others to discuss.
The really good news is if this goes through, I would imagine the Church will be able to reduce the parish share charge on all the churches in the diocese.
This will enable parish priests to be priests again rather than fund-raisers. Or perhaps not; God moves in mysterious ways.
