Social Responsibility

last updated on: 19th Jul 2011

Social Responsibility is part of the Diocese of Leicester and its role is to resource the Diocese and parishes on issues of church and society. As Christians we offer the context of our faith as the basis of our engagement with the world. Social Responsibility encourages us to care about God’s world and people. It is rooted in gospel values such as the command to love our neighbour as ourselves and to offer support to the most disadvantaged in society.

Social Responsibility uses a variety of action groups to take this work forward, through work in parishes, deaneries and conferences, with training days and support groups. Officers and staff are available to talk with deaneries, chapters, parishes and other groups and to receive enquiries.

There is currently no full time Director of Social Responsibility. Any questions or enquiries can be directed to Archdeacon of Loughborough David Newman on david.newman@leccofe.org
