And finally
The first Chair of SCCCC, Rev. Canon Alan Jockel, described our role and our relationships with other organisations in 1971 as follows:
"We must never forget that our Council is not an end in itself. It exists to be a servant of the Christian Church in Sheffield in caring for the community, accepting gratefully and with thanks to God the vast amount of caring done through the statutory service and seeking to augment it with the voluntary service of the local Christian fellowship.
To that end we invite the co-operation of every Christian congregation and offer our Council as an expression of our will to do it together and as effectively as possible."
This comment is as relevant today in SCCCC's work as it was then.
