'Churches Meeting'

David Miliband MP recently attended a meeting of all the Christian faith representatives in South Shields.

Held at the Town Hall, the meeting was attended by senior members and priests from Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic and United Reform Churches.

David Miliband said " The role played by faith communities in challenging the problems of South Shields is a vital one.

"I was interested to meet the Christian faith community in South Shields and hear their opinions on local and national issues.

I think it is important to keep in touch with all sections of the community in South Shields, to listen to the opinions and views of all my constituents".
