Student Guide 2014

A Student Guide to
CHURCHES
2014/2015
2
Welcome to Manchester!
The Chaplaincy Team at St Peter’s has compiled this guide to help you find a
Church that you can settle into. This guide is also on line at the Chaplaincy
web site: www.stpeters.org.uk
Whilst there are many good churches in Manchester there is one about which
we advise caution - The Manchester International Church of Christ. This
Church has been excluded from University Campuses.
If you would like to know more about any Christian Group, you are welcome
to contact us at the Chaplaincy for information.
With best wishes from
The Chaplaincy Team

good at food: bread and soup lunches, celebratory cake, and
vast amounts of biscuits seem to be a key part of our life
together. The church is open every day – a place for quiet
reflection, the security and structure of worship, a chance to

Our identity as Unitarians is based on shared values, not
shared beliefs. We expect everyone to be on their own
36
spiritual path. We welcome LGBT, Transgender and Fluid
together with their straight allies. We are a tolerant spiritual
community, supporting each other on our journey. Whilst
Unitarianism has its roots in Protestant Christianity, we find
wisdom in the writings of world religions, poetry and prose.
Amongst our members are those who identify as Atheist,
humanist, agnostic, Christian, Buddhist and Eco Spiritual and
many who are a mixture! If you have doubts and questions this
is a good place for you. We may not answer them but we will
help you to explore them and clarify your thoughts.
