Emerging
Regional Bishoprics |
 |
ACGB BISHOPRIC IN THE MIDLANDS
 |
Introduction |
 |
The
ACGB Bishopric for the Midlands would be based in
Birmingham. Its primary purpose would be to support
the work of Christ currently being done through congregations
and other Church leaders, and also to engage society
at large in the context of the spiritual, social,
and economic regeneration of the Midlands. In doing
these, the bishopric will face the prophetic challenges
of promoting community care and community support
as well as the prophetic challenges of building dialogue
with other Faiths in the region

Overview
of The Midlands |

Midlands are divided into two sections, which are
East and West Midlands. The total population is 10,067,000
