Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) has marked the start
of this year's Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with the launch of a
new social networking site.
CT Connect is a free website for local Churches Together groups to help them access CTBI’s online resources.
It also gives them the space to seek and share information and best practice.
CTBI hopes the website will facilitate groups sharing resources for worship and spirituality, and publicising events.
More importantly, they want to see groups use the website to interact
and discuss current issues locally, nationally and internationally.
CTBI General Secretary, the Rev Bob Fyffe said: “This is about
resourcing and developing a new space to work on our agenda for unity.
It’s about building an on-line community.
"Significantly, it will allow Christians at a local level to engage
directly with each other and with the many organisations in the
ecumenical family.
"It will also be an interactive space that will resource and
strengthen the work of local Churches Together groups. It’s a good
example of our being ‘More Together, Less Apart'.”
