The Archbishop of York visits the Diocese of Chester

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, made a missionary visit to the Chester diocese from 21-23 June to share in and encourage the mission of the church, to show the love of God and to make him known to the 1.5 million people of our diocese.  On his second day, Stephen met with regular attendees of St Paul’s, Macclesfield,  a warm hub and a year-round gathering space for all kinds of people in the community.  The church reaches out to homeless people and those with dependencies.
