in Bury St Edmunds are aiming to set up a Town Pastors scheme along the
lines of the one in Ipswich. People from Ipswich are assisting on
recruitment and training. The aim is to have pastors on the
streets of Bury by mid-summer.Thirty-five Churches involved
People from many different denominations, traditions, and church backgrounds are involved in Town Pastors,. Many are out on the streets, and others belong to the prayer team. In total they represent nearly forty churches. The Bible (1 Corinthians chapter 12) says: "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all people."
