The Standing Commission supports the House of Bishops and dioceses with monitoring the implementation of the Declaration and the Five Guiding Principles, and disseminating good practice at all levels within the Church in this area.

From pre-consecration until the end of their ministry, a Bishop will need to meet and speak with various teams and individuals across the National Church Institutions. To help accommodate this, we have consolidated all useful contacts for Bishops in one area along with other useful links which might be beneficial.
