Growing Faith Conference Sat 14 May Chichester Cathedral
Leading practitioners in children and family work are coming together for a keynote one day conference in collaboration with Chichester Cathedral to focus on partnerships between the three communities of church, school and household.
The event is in response to ‘Growing Faith’ an initiative from the Church of England’s Education Team and is commended by senior staff.
Bishop Ruth said: “This Conference offers an impressive line-up of practitioners with experience, wisdom, and passion for our parishes to have thriving ministry among the rising generation. Whether you have a tiny toddler group, or more tweens than you can handle, this day is a great opportunity to think through how to strengthen this vital and challenging work in our churches, homes and schools.”
The conference will explore themes to enable the discovery, exploration and growth for all in those communities.
Revd Dr Irene Smale (Children’s and Family Work Adviser Diocese of Chichester), has been organising the event. She said:
“Children’s and Family Work is not only an essential part of our mission today as Church but plays a momentous role as we look to the future of the Church. If there are no families and children engaging with your Church today - the Church has no future. This conference is a must for anyone interested in ministry with children and families whether in schools, parish churches or in the home. It will inspire you to ‘Grow Faith’ with successful imaginative ideas that have been tried and tested by highly qualified professionals from a wide range of expertise. To dedicate one day of your time to attend this conference could make a lifetime of difference to the people you serve.”
The Children’s and Family Work Growing Faith Conference takes place in Chichester Cathedral on 14th May 2022. Welcoming us to the Cathedral as well as speaking will be Canon Treasurer Vanessa Baron who for many years served as school Chaplain to St Paul’s Girl’s School London.
Keynote speakers include Revd Nigel Genders, Revd Mary Hawes, Lucy Moore and Emeritus Professor Janet Walker OBE.
