Welcome to the website of Durham University Ecumenical Christian Council!

DUECC celebrates the diversity of the different Durham Christian groups, whilst offering a dialogue to explore both what we share and unite in and what makes us unique and different. It was founded around a decade ago, and today hosts a calendar of events aimed at bringing Christians together and witnessing to the love of Jesus Christ, who prayed that we may be one in him.

As such, DUECC exists to enable the different student Christian societies to work together for better witness to the Gospel in Durham and the University, in partnership with the University Chaplaincies and Durham Churches Together (DCT), by:

Encouraging unity between Christians of different denominations and traditions around our shared belief in Jesus Christ's redemptive love for creation
Affirming this faith by joining together in worship, fellowship and Christian mission wherever possible
Facilitating co-operation between the different societies and mutual support for their own activities
Co-operating with the Cathedral and University Chaplaincies to provide lectures in an ecumenical setting that widen understanding of the Christian faith
Co-operate with DCT in strengthening the link between University Chaplaincies, Christian societies and the churches of the city

On this website you can find information about DUECC's role in the grand scheme of things (check out the constitution), the groups and people that comprise it, activities and events (both those organised by DUECC and by its constituent groups), downloads of DUECC's constitution and publicity material and a section of useful links. What more could you possibly want?!

DUECC maintains a mailing list for information about upcoming events - either put on by DUECC or by one of our member groups.
