St Paul's Church, Rusland
The church building is listed and lies on a rocky outcrop in the midst of the parish's scattered community. The church is an important part of this communty, a position it works hard to maintain. The community itself is very active, even though the houses in the parish are scattered, with the only collections of dwellings being at Rusland Cross, Crosslands and Thwaite Moss.
The church is kept open for visitors at all times, who find it a place of peace and tranquillity. We hope it is also a place where people sense the presence of God.
