SANCTUS1 CONNECTS WITH THE DE-CHURCHED

Participants at the Future Church conference meeting in Hertfordshire have been hearing about (and experiencing the worship style of) Sanctus1 - an alternative Christian community based in the city centre of Manchester. The venture has been supported by ‘traditional’ churches, but it has its own distinctive life and culture, aimed particularly at connecting with the ‘de-churched’ – those who have rejected or fallen away from Christian faith, sometimes after a negative experience of the inherited church. Sanctus1, which also shares its resources more widely through a creative website, aims to provide a variety of spaces for open discussion, socialising and alternative forms of worship. Having started several years ago with just a handful, Sanctus1 currently involves some 50-60 people and 20 associates.
