Transforming Norwich breaks down barriers
2009: Transforming Norwich aims to break down the barriers between churches and help them on the ground with whatever they are doing,
chairman Rev Nicholas Vesey told its AGM, held at
St Peter Mancroft's Octagan on
June 11.
The AGM also received the Annual Report which looks back over a busy year which included: a
Missions Fair in January, prayer initiatives including
Adopt a Week of Prayer, the
Global Day of Prayer and
Ministers Praying Together; a guide to helping the homeless; a
Good Friday silent march of reconciliation and a successful
Graham Kendrick concert in April.
