Two examples of mission work I the C of E is interested in and asking us to
help the church become more accessible:
1. Ignite: St Pauls Church, Cliftonville, Margate - a new evening church
that has drawn in 60 plus members, many alcohol and drug dependent, 80% with
learning difficulties and vulnerable.

2. Open Door: St Paul with St Luke, Tranmere, to be replicated in St
Mary's Church, Liscard Wallasey - a midweek church attracting
benefit-dependent people who spend much of their day at home watching
television. Teaching uses a familiar media - short films through TV
screens. Many in this group are of high needs with mental health, addiction
problems and have mild learning disabilities.
