Population drift forces parishes to combine BY GABRIELLE STUART Burwood, North New Brighton, and New Brighton Anglican parishes plan to combine, because they are losing worshippers. Through the merger the combined parish will cover a large area along Pegasus Bay, stretching from Southshore to Spencerville. The name of the new parish has still to be decided. Burwood Anglican Parish warden Elizabeth Hanley said the
church alone had lost about 20 per cent of its members since the earthquake. “We have got quite a few parishioners who have gone into rest homes, and others who have moved to other suburbs.” She said that meant it wasn’t viable to run so many parishes.
The combined parish will be formed in November. It will be centred on the All Saints Burwood site, because of its facilities and also because it has very little earthquake damage. St Mark’s at Marshland and St Luke’s (left), at South New

Brighton will continue as worship centres, while St Faith’s New Brighton and St Andrew’s North New Brighton will continue their community focused ministries during the week. A Transitional Action Group has been formed to work out the details of the merger, identifying the strengths of each parish, and coming up with a mission action plan for the new parish. • Turn to page 2
