  • New Ministerial Team at the Department of Health
    New Ministerial Team at the Department of Health The Rt Hon Alan Johnson MP Secretary of State for Health Alan Johnson was first elected to Parliament in 1997 as the Member for Kingston upon Hull. A former postman, Alan Johnson served as a former General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and is one of the largest trade union names to have entered Parliament in recent decades. Often credited with the much coveted tag of being an "ordinary bloke", he is highly articulate and effective and is credited with the successful campaign that deterred the previous Conservative government from privatising the Post Office. Popular among his peers, Alan Johnson is generally regarded to be on the centre right of the Labour Party and is well regarded by the Labour leadership. As a union member of Labour's ruling NEC (up to 1996) he was seen as supportive of Tony Blair's attempts to modernise the Labour Party. He was the only senior union leader to back the abolition of Labour's clause IV. He becomes the first former union leader to become a cabinet minister in nearly 40 years when he is appointed to the Work and Pensions brief in 2004. After moving to Trade and Industry, he becomes Education and Skills Secretary in May 2006. After being tipped by many as the front-runner in the Labour deputy leadership contest of 2007, Alan Johnson was narrowly beaten by Harriet Harman.

The Muslim Council of Britain is pledged to work for the common good of society as a whole; encouraging individual Muslims and Muslim organisations to play a full and participatory role in public life.

From Rev. Ian Howarth Dear friends, This comes with every good wish to you all for 2011. This year all five churches in the pastorate are sharing taking part in a Covenant service to begin the New Year. This service comes from the Methodist tradition, and goes back to the days of John Wesley, but it is a service that in recent years has been increasingly taken up by Christians of all denominations. Unfortunately the word Covenant is used in different ways in churches, and this can lead to some confusion. For example, in Leatherhead we have a Local Ecumenical Covenant, which is the written, legal, commitment of Christ Church, LMC, and the Anglican Parish to work together and share some ministry. The Covenant service is nothing to do with this! The word Covenant means a solemn binding two-way promise, and the Covenant service is a reflection on God’s promise to us, through Jesus Christ, to be faithful and gracious, and our promise to God to give our lives to him in love and service.
