Under the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011, it has been proposed that the benefices of Maker with Rame, Millbrook, St John & Torpoint, St Germans with Antony & Sheviock, will all be united into one new benefice called ‘Rame & Rivers’ (a name chosen by consulting members from all of those churches). UPDATE: The Pastoral Scheme has now been approved.
