Shropshire is richly endowed with
historic churches ....
There are over 350 churches in regular use, most over 700
years old. Many of our churches are Listed Buildings, which signifies
that they are of outstanding architectural and historic interest.
Responsibility for their maintenance and repair falls upon the individual
parishes; they are not maintained or financed by the Church Commissioners,
Diocese or State. In Shropshire most churches are in rural areas where
the congregations are often small and need help to cope with repairs, which
are often urgent and expensive.

A Prayer
for the Churches of Shropshire
Almighty
God our heavenly Father, we remember before you, now, the churches in this
county of Shropshire and the houses of worship they use.
Make the doors of our churches
wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship, and a
Father's care, and narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and lack of
love.
In them may the tempted find
help, the sorrowing receive comfort, the careless be awakened to repentance,
the penitent be assured of your mercy. And there may all your children
renew their strength and go on their way in hope and joy. Through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
