Visions, York
Every month in the crypt of York Minster, there's an alternative worship gathering led by members of the city's visions community. This fresh expression of church was founded back in 1991 and describes itself as church for people who don't like church. During the week the community often gathers in each others homes, as leader Sue Wallace explained on the podcast.
More information can be found on the visions-york website.
And you can find out more about visions and six other fresh expressions of church in the sacramental and contemplative tradition on our latest DVD, Sanctus, available from our shop.

Brierley Hill Project
The Brierley Hill Project is a community support centre that addresses the needs of disadvantaged people in the heart of one of the most deprived areas in the West Midlands. John Cook is the project manager of the Brierley Hill Project there and Rachel Matthews asked him how important it was to offer discipleship to those people who visit the centre and what difficulties they face.
More information can be found on the Brierley Hill Project website.
