About this website

This site went 'live' at Easter 2006. It is still under development. If you are a member of the parish and there is anything missing or anything you would like to add, please use the form on the Conact Us page. No-one's role has been deliberately missed off; please accept our apologies and let us know. Thanks.

There is a new spirit in the Church; we in Fordingbridge and Ringwood are called above all to be a worshipping community that shares in its spirituality and lives out its faith together in a way that people will see and recognise Christ, everyone playing his or her part. This is a tall order, but the philosophy that holds Christian commitment to be an entirely personal matter, by which too many Christains in this country have avoided their call to ministry and by which the rest of the country has found a comfortable way to ignore Christianity is discredited; so too is the tendency among us that our spiritual development and theological understanding come to a standstill at confirmation.

The Pastoral Parish Councils hope that this website will play some part, however small, in unifying our faith community by enthusing, informing, stimulating ideas, providing resources and a forum.

The hope is that as many of our community as possible will contribute whatever they feel moved to contribute.
