Giving thanks for the Windermere Centre
The Windermere Centre – which focused on delivering residential courses for lay people – closed on 25 May 2017. The decision to close the Centre was made at Mission Council on 13 and 14 May 2017, following long and difficult deliberations, and acknowledging a profound debt of gratitude for its unique, 30-year contribution to the life of the United Reformed Church.
