United Reformed Church is right behind the Hope 2008 initiative which
encourages churches to "do more, do it together and do it in word and
action".
We
want to see the church begin to look like and live like the one body
that it truly is, reaching out to the community in visible expressions
of unity. Find out more about the whole vision for Hope in the UK at:

The
strategic thinking was set under five headings, ecumenism, changing
church, spirituality and core values, ways of working, and finance and
resources.:
That our commitment to ecumenism should not restrain us from
focusing on mission. We are called to live, not die.
That the structures have been put in place for local experiments in
being church differently
That we are summoned to renewal, to model the love of God and the
unity we have given by moving beyond stereotypical divisions of
‘liberal’ and ‘evangelical’.
That the local church is central to our mission, and must take
priority in our use of resources.
Having established those principles, we then suggest ways in which
the work of the Assembly might be re-configured to give priority to
mission.
