About
Churches Together in South London (CTSL) is the umbrella ecumenical body that encourages and supports inter-church work, worship and witness in the London boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Croydon, Merton, Sutton, Kingston, and Richmond south of the River Thames.
CTSL is supported by the Anglican Diocese of Southwark, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark, the London Methodist District, the United Reformed Church Southern Synod, the London Baptist Association, the Salvation Army London South East Division, and a number of smaller denominations. It has growing links with independent black majority churches in South London.
Its Chair is the Rt Rev Paul Hendricks, Auxiliary Bishop in the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark and its Vice-chair is Bishop Donnett Thomas, Senior Pastor of The Power of the Living Word Ministries in Clapham Park. They meet with other South London church leaders to discuss matters of common interest and concern.
CTSL is run by a Council, consisting of denominational representatives and people from churches together groups across South London, and a smaller Enabling Group, consisting mainly of denominational ecumenical officers
CTSL has an Ecumenical Officer, John Richardson, who is responsible for seeing that decisions of the Council and Enabling Group are carried out and who acts as the co-ordinator of the various activities. He is based at St John’s Waterloo but spends much time 'on the road’ meeting people involved in ecumenical work and visiting ecumenical projects
