HISTORY will be made at Blackburn Cathedral next month when the Bishop of Blackburn, the Rt Rev Alan Chesters, and Landesbischof Christian Krause of the evangelical Lutheran Church sign a formal document linking the Blackburn and German Braunschweig Dioceses.
The document will be signed on May 5 after Evensong and will establish a formal link for five years. The ceremony will be the highlight of a visit of eight delegates from Braunschweig.
