Christianity in Devon 909-2009

"Heaven in Devon": This month sees the celebration of 1100 years of Christianity in Devon with the arrival of Eadwulf, first Bishop of Crediton in the year 909. To commemorate this significant event a full programme of visits was arranged throughout the Exeter Diocese which includes a large area of the Teignbridge District. I represented the Council at Bitton House, Teignmouth for a discussion afternoon with the current Bishop of Crediton "Bishop Bob". All sections of the community were present including our Member of Parliament, Councillors, voluntary and uniformed organisations, Youth Forums and the Senior Council. The theme of the afternoon was how to engage and interact with all sections of the community in a rapidly changing world
