‘If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.’ Our vision is rooted in how St Mark’s embodies a Living, Thinking, Loving Faith:

• Living Faith which is inclusive, vibrant & engaged.
• Thinking faith which engages with scripture, tradition, reason & experience.
