Welcome
We are the Church of England in Colwall and Coddington. We believe that God welcomes and loves all people, and that all people are created in the image of God.
Each of us is unique with gifts and talents that are blessings from God and all are welcome irrespective of ethnicity, gender, sexual identity and orientation, disability, and economic power.
We come together for worship and mutual support and are here for all members of the community.

Oxeye Daisies - May Magnificence
May is the month when the Oxeye Daisy, our tallest British daisy, shows its fresh white and gold glory. When you look at a decent-sized area of them, such as we have in Colwall churchyard, it is hard to understand why they aren’t as universally loved as bluebells. Too often they are banished as “weeds” from gardens and the countryside.
Let’s (not) build an economic wall
Britain has long been internationalist – at the very least our history demands it of us. I think there should be another imperative though. The controversial cut to the International Development budget means less funding available for those most in need throughout the world. Providing enhanced ability to trade could mitigate at least some of that loss.
Skull & Crossbones
I was surprised to see crossed bones and bat’s wings with the remains of a carving of a skull! Nothing to do with Pirates. This imagery goes back to the medieval period and was a common mortality symbol. The skull and crossbones were believed to be the parts of the body required for resurrection.
Resurrection and immortality, how appropriate as we go into the Easter period.
