Welcome
"Jesus turns round lives that are lost and in pain. He inspires projects and programmes of social reform worldwide. He causes people to live and die heroically. He is the best that humankind has ever been. He is the same yesterday, today and for ever, and so he draws us from who we were once, to who we are now, and towards who we shall be one day."
So says The Right Reverend John Pritchard, the Bishop of Oxford, at the close of his recent book "Living Jesus". It is good to remember that our church and all churches are here because of Jesus. Our Christian community and all Christian communities exist to worship, celebrate and proclaim the Good News of his abiding power to transform lives and to transform our world.
Here in the Benefice of the Cookhams,
St John the 
every human being, without distinction, is created in the image of God, and has a full and equal claim on the love and pastoral care of our church. We affirm that the whole creation is a divine gift, displaying something of the glory and beauty of God, and are fully committed to its nurture and care.
Whoever you are, wherever you are from, whatever your background, you are welcome to our Website and you will always be welcome in our church.
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3v28.
