The Free Church of England Central Trust Executive Council, as Custodian Trustees, has been sad to learn that on the previous three Sundays the worship at Emmanuel Free Church of England, Morecambe, has been deliberately disrupted and has fallen short of the 1889 Trust which states that it is ‘to be used occupied and enjoyed as and for a place of worship by the congregation of Emmanuel Church being a congregation of the Free Church of England’. As the worship of God must be the priority, we regret that we have to direct that services at Emmanuel Morecambe be suspended until such time as the Custodian Trustees can be assured that services will be conducted with proper dignity and in accord with the Trust in which the Church is held and under the direction of the Diocesan Bishop.
