Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Dursley Tabernacle United Reformed Church.

We are a welcoming church community centrally based in the Cotswold town of Dursley, Gloucestershire.

We have about 140 church members of all ages with active children and young people’s groups. We seek to be inclusive and diverse and to make a difference to our community in the name of Jesus Christ. The church plays a significant role in the local community running and hosting various community activities.

Have a look in our website and find out how we are fulfilling that mission.

Even better, come and visit us and see if you’d like to be part of our community!

Assisted Dying; URC Report

The URC regards all human life as being God given, and therefore precious. It recognises that there is a time to die and that there are circumstances in which it will be wrong to continue to provide treatment designed to prolong life.

It also recognises that some palliative treatment for the terminally ill makes the patient more comfortable and pain free, but can also hasten death. It believes this to be acceptable, as long as the primary purpose of the treatment is pain relief and comfort of the patient.

The URC does not support legislation that would empower medical staff to intervene in ways which deliberately seek to assist a patient to die, and opposes any change in the law to permit voluntary euthanasia or assisted suicide.

You can read more about this in a report from the United Reformed Church, which was compiled in 2007
