Proposed details of Church of England national Redress Scheme published

 Overwhelming Synod support for ongoing work on redress at its July 23 session 

More than 700 young adults have taken part in the Ministry Experience Scheme, General Synod members have heard, as it marks its 10th anniversary.

The Bishop of Bristol, Viv Faull, The Church of England's joint lead on church buildings, has welcomed new legislation clarifying the right of parish and town councils to support parishes 

Commissioned by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, today's final report proposes a radical and inspiring vision for adult social care in England, drawing on Christian theology, tradition and values.

Apprentice youth workers, youth ministers, children and families workers and chaplaincy aimed at students in further education are to be funded as part of major awards to dioceses announced by the Church of England.

The report follows an interim announcement in June 2022, which reported for the first time, and with great dismay, that the Church Commissioners’ endowment had historic links to transatlantic chattel slavery*

Funding has been approved to support dioceses with costs of almost 70 additional stipendiary curacy posts across the Church of England.
