A commissioning service at the Anglican landmark marked the start of ‘Tell, Serve, Give’ – the latest in a series of evangelistic initiatives taking place across the North of England.
The Bishop of Whitby, Rt Rev Paul Ferguson told Premier: “We got all sorts of things happening.

Launched by the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu in 2015, the first Northern Bishops’ Mission was held in Sheffield Diocese. Similar events have since been held in various other northern dioceses.
