Home & Community Affairs
The Church of England seeks to advocate the well being of individuals and communities across the country. When engaging with Home Affairs and Community & Urban Affairs we seek to identify policies, issues, trends and practices on which the Church, acting or speaking as a national body or local congregation, might make a difference.
