The global partners programme provides an opportunity for synods to enter into a bilateral exchange with a partner church outside of Europe. The primary objective of the programme is to create opportunities for mutual learning and enrichment, and to worship together and share our faith journeys and life stories. In particular exposing people in URC congregations to people and their stories from our overseas partners in ways which are meaningful to the congregation (i.e. related to their issues and concerns)
