St Pauls Shadwell

From Freepedia

St. Paul's, Shadwell, is an historic church, located between The Highway and Shadwell Basin, on the edge of Wapping, in the East End of London. In January 2005 a team from the congregation of Holy Trinity Brompton moved to Shadwell to minister with the existing members of St Paul's in serving the local area.

Reverend Ric Thorpe was licensed as the new Priest-in-Charge on January 20th with Reverend Jez Barnes be assisting him as the Associate Pastor.

This follows a number of similar church plants from Holy Trinity Brompton to declining churches around London with the support of the Bishop of London.
