As part of the worldwide church, we respect those of all faiths and none
Our Diocese knows we cannot work in isolation. There is a strong tradition of commitment to ecumenical working, to playing a full part in the voluntary (or third) sector, to a commitment to fair trade and world mission - the list goes on!
We have a long history of working ecumenically at Merseyside and a local level. There are seventy Local Ecumenical Partnerships and the Anglicans are involved in most of these.
