Welcome to the District Website
The Methodist Church is one of
the largest Christian churches serving Great Britain, with nearly 300,000
members and regular contact with over 800,000 people. It has about 5,800
churches in Great Britain, and also maintains links with other Methodist
churches totalling a worldwide membership of 70 million. Its activities, both
alone and with ecumenical and secular partners, are based on four aims known as
Our Calling:
- To increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love
- To help people to grow and learn as Christians through mutual support and care
- To be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice
- To make more followers of Jesus Christ.
In these pages you can find out what the South-East District of the Methodist
Church does to support the work that is done in about 250 Methodist churches in
the South East of England, Malta and Gibraltar.

The resource provides a selection of prayers for use by, for and with survivors,
including words calling for God’s help in shaping a Church that supports “the
possibility of healing and a willingness to stand as pain bearers for one
another.”
