The work of our Rural Commission aims to help Leicester Diocese shift in self-understanding from an urban diocese with a rural edge to
"...a rural diocese with urban heartlands, working in partnership, and led by all God’s people."
"As well as changing our self-understanding, I hope this report will also help us celebrate the diversity of rural life in Leicestershire. From bustling market towns, to quiet villages, from former mining communities to new housing developments, the term ‘rural’ can hide many significant differences. And this is why it is so important for the church to be a part of every community and to prayerfully discern what God is doing in that community."
- Martyn Snow, Bishop of Leicester
