New Housing:
do you have some near you?
There is much new housing going up across our Presbytery. Well, no wonder it’s beautiful part of the country!
As this new government has made clear we have a housing crisis and they are keen to ramp up house building. For churches new housing is a challenge and an opportunity.
How can we show generous Christian hospitality and engage meaningfully with new residents?
New Housing is a context in its own right and so deserves attention to better understand the particular dynamics present in such a new development.
To this end please check out the New Housing Hub.
