TWO Taunton churches are discussing ‘merging’ under a single benefice.
The vicar of St Mary Magdalene, the Rev Rod Corke (pictured), would also be the priest at St John’s, where there would be a ‘house for duty’ priest two days a week.
But each church would maintain its own finances and parochial church council.
The PCCs of both churches are meeting the Archdeacon of Taunton,the Ven John Reed, on Wednesday, April 17.
