Church in Society: will it arise like Lazarus?

The avid reader of this blog will recall my venting my ire at the Church of England Rochester Diocese for closing Church in Society earlier this year.  I never received a response to my e-mails to the Bishop of Tonbridge on the subject.

The new Bishop of Rochester informs us that his major interests are in matters of justice and social housing.  How he intends to exercise this ministry we have yet to be told, but there is talk of partnerships.

Will Church is Society arise as did Lazarus?  The  sheer stupidity of those responsible for the demise of Church in Society will become apparent as the church seeks to mitigate the effects of government cuts on the vulnerable in the diocese.
