The Diocese of Gloucester has forged a special link with five dioceses overseas (listed on the right). The Church is a gift that needs to be valued. Links across cultures allow friendships to develop whereby people can begin to understand one another better, while exploring differences. Our five diocesan links are with Karnataka Central and Dornakal in India, Västerås in Sweden, Western Tanganyika in Africa and El Camino Real in America. Find out more about our diocesan partnerships, their purpose and how they work here… DPG Overview 2017. Getting involved There are several ways in which individuals and parishes can become more involved. 1. Pray All the projects and people mentioned on this webpage need regular prayer support. Building a fruitful and fulfilling link cannot be done without committed prayer from those involved. Our Diocesan Cycle of Prayer provides a framework for doing so. 2. Give Making a donation to our link dioceses is a tangible way of directly supporting their work and ministry. Money donated by you will be entrusted to our partnership representatives and spent in a way that fits best with the local needs. You may choose to donate individually, as a group or as a PCC. Donation forms can be downloaded here Membership of the Diocesan Partnership Group The Diocesan Partnership Group meets twice a year to facilitate the above but also shares reports and ideas between meetings.
