Christ Church URC history (part 9): Rev Kenneth Faulkner

In 1966 Rev Kenneth Faulkner came to Christ Church with his wife and children, who were to play an active role in the life of the church, particularly in the choir. Later in 1966 the Congregational Union of England and Wales was replaced by the Congregational Church. Having failed to obtain the required majority in 1971, in 1973 Christ Church joined the United Reformed Church (which was formed from a union of the former Congregational and Presbyterian Churches). In 1975 Christ Church celebrated its centenary with a re-enactment of the original opening, an exhibition on its history organised by Donald Potter and a dinner and social evening.
