About

When the Leeds Church Extension Society was founded by far sighted Anglicans in 1864, the purpose was “to help build churches and pay for clergy in the  rapidly expanding City of Leeds”.  The objectives and activities of the Extension Society remained “unchanged since its foundation, namely to help provide the  finance for mission halls and new parish churches and vicarages, assist with the stipends of both clergy and lay workers, and help maintain and re-order churches and church halls;  in addition grants are made to Church Community and similar outreach activities within the City”.

lces.org aims at providing useful information on the Anglican Church in general, and Internet-related services for churches in particular.
