PARTNERSHIPS

THE CENTRE FOR THEOLOGY & COMMUNITY

In 2015, we entered into partnership with the Centre for Theology & Community to renew the life of the church. The Director of CTC, Canon Angus Ritchie, is one of our parish priests. Our partnership with the CTC has embedded community organising in everything we do, enabling our church to be more faithful to Christ and effective in reaching out to our neighbourhood.

CHOIR CHURCH

We are proud to have planted the first Choir Church in our parish school, and to support our musical director and Choir Church founder Tom Daggett as he grows the Choir Church movement nationwide.

THE GREGORY CENTRE FOR CHURCH MULTIPLICATION

As a Resource Church in the Diocese of London, we are partnering with other parishes to build a community of churches who are growing and applying the practices of community organising. We are a part of the network of churches across the UK being supported by the Gregory Centre to resource others.

ST MATTHEW'S BETHNAL GREEN

The first church we are partnering with as a Resource Church is St Matthew's Bethnal Green, led by their Rector, Erin Clark.

THE EAST LONDON CITIZENS ORGANISATION

St George-in-the-East is a member institution of TELCO, a powerful alliance of over 80 civil institutions. TELCO is the founding chapter of Citizens UK, the home of community organising in the UK. We believe the practices of community organising help us individually and collectively to express so much of our faith – building deep relationships, using power for the common good and the courage to challenge and struggle against injustice.
