Midland / The 'joyous' leg'

Midland is a friendly, fun loving and faithful leg. We are a lively and inclusive group, always ready to sing, dance and enjoy life. We are ecumenical but have a more Catholic approach. Our liturgy is challenging, reverent and fuelled by the Spirit. We aim for a mix of traditional and more modern elements including poetry and music from outside of the Church tradition. Midland leg has a tradition of welcoming LGBTQ+ people and a wide range of others who may have felt marginalised by the Church model of the “ideal Christian” and we have a tailored liturgy that preaches love and infinite respect for all of God’s people.
