Bishop Rose has been leading a series of events in every deanery in our diocese. These deanery roadshows have been an opportunity for us to gather to discuss our 2030 strategy, including our three bold outcomes .
Thank you to everyone who has attended. These events have been times of great encouragement. Parishes have had the opportunity to discuss new ideas and share where they are seeing signs of growth.
We’d love to have your feedback on how you’ve found the roadshows and if there are any areas we can improve on for next year.
Please take time to complete the , this should only take a couple of minutes. If anyone needs a paper version please call 01227 459401.
