Methodist Church of Britain to Launch New Historic London District

The Methodist Church in the South East will undergo an historic development at the start of September, as a new Methodist London District comes into existence to serve the Greater London region.

The new district has come about as the Methodist Church looks to renew and adapt its mission focus, and to put its efforts more into serving the community.

As a result of the new London district becoming established, a further two districts will be formed in the South East of England, covering the areas around London.

At present there are 4 London Districts, each working with separate patterns and initiatives. However, the Church now hopes to better contribute to the city as a whole by focusing the responsibility of London to within a single district.
