One kind of agreement is easy to identify – when denominations come into partnership by setting up a single congregation. Others can be when they share a church building, or when they co-operate in chaplaincy. In the case of a single congregation LEP, standard documents should be used to draw up the Constitution. They can be found here. These have been agreed by the Charity Commission, which makes it relatively easy to register the LEP as a charity. Pastoral responsibility for LEPs always remains with the churches; that is, with the relevant authorities of the denominations which form the partnership. Churches Together in Norfolk and Waveney (NWCT), as an intermediate body of Churches Together in England, is the sponsoring body for all LEPs in Norfolk and Waveney. Alongside Denominational Ecumenical Officers, NWCT is responsible for reviewing LEPs as required. For more information and to access useful resources for either setting up or running an effective LEP please follow this link.
