Deanery Resources
Parish and People was formed in 1949 as a response to the Liturgical Movement. It worked for renewal in the Church of England and campaigned on key issues, including collaborative ministry, liturgy and church unity. The group ceased campaigning in 2013, but has made its Deanery Resource archive available through the National Deaneries Network.
