St Luke's Links
St Luke's seeks to take a full role in inter-church activities and belongs to both the Sevenoaks
and District Council of Churches and to the North-West Fellowship of Churches. It has links
with parishes in Harare, Cergy-Pontoise and Liverpool and tries to give meaningful support to
the Church's world-wide mission through Christian Aid and other agencies.
Church Mission Society
We at St Luke's consider our link with CMS to be very important. CMS encourages and support
the philosophy that local mission and world mission are not divided but very much partners in
the life of the church. St Luke's shares this understanding and it informs our own mission
activities at all levels.

CMS Mission Partners
It is our joy and privilege at St Luke's to support a family who have recently moved to India
from the UK through CMS. They are:- Eric and Rhena Clouston and their two children, Kitty
and Samuel. They are working with TAFTEE which is an organisation that provides
opportunities for people in South India to take up accredited bible and ministerial studies.
Students are already active in ministry on campuses and slums so the work clearly goes
beyond the normal bible training.

St Cyprians, Edge Hill, Liverpool.
St Luke's has had a link with this Merseyside parish since 1998, set up by David Lewis, Vicar of
St Cyprian's and Robert Chavner, previously Vicar of St Luke's.
Following the retirement of David Lewis and Robert's appointment as Vicar of Brighton, the
congregations continued the link and now under the guidance of Mike Coates in Liverpool and
Mark Griffin in Sevenoaks, the churches pray regularly for each other in very different
situations, and mutually support each other as seeking to find God's will for the future.
Cergy - Pontoise, France.
Sevenoaks is twinned with Pontoise in France and St Luke's has been linked to the reformed
church of Cergy since 1987. We believe we have much to offer each other in prayerful and
practical support and many friendships have been formed between members of our two
churches. Groups of people from St Luke's have visited L'Eglise Reformee in Cergy in the
recent past
Harare Marondera.
St Luke's has had a link with the parish of Marondera since the late 1990's as part of the link
between the diocese of Rochester and the diocese of Harare. Although the link has been
suspended in recent years, it has now been re-instated and we are committed to paying £1000
annually towards the stipend of the Parish priest at All Saints, Marondera, Fr. Robert Tandi.
