The Map shows the area of West Yorkshire, but WYCT extends a little further to take in Dioceses and Districts based in West Yorkshire but whose boundaries go beyond.

DENOMINATIONAL ECUMENICAL OFFICERS (“DEOs”).…represent their own church within  WYCT and represent WYCT in this area.They encourage people within their own denominations to be outward- looking and to work with the other churches in their locality. The DEOs also do a great deal of the nuts-and-bolts work of ecumenism, helping too with the smooth running of Local Ecumenical Partnerships (LEPs). Underpinning all they do is their shared worship, friendship and regular meeting together. At present, these are the DEOs in WYCT:

ANGLICAN Revd Glenn Coggins, Diocese of Leeds (Convenor)
BAPTIST
  Revd Terry Hepworth, Yorkshire Baptist Association
CATHOLIC
  Revd David Bulmer, Diocese of Leeds
