Social Justice

Social Justice in the Diocese of Coventry is rooted in kingdom values and vision and a priority commitment to the poor and disadvantaged.  Coventry Diocese works closely with church and secular partners. 

In light of this priority areas have been divided into the following:

• Support parishes in transforming their communities, especially where those parishes are located in areas of relative deprivation.
• Build inter-faith links and strengthen community relations more widely. Work toward greater equality and uphold human rights.
• Care for the most marginal and needy people, especially asylum seekers, refugees and migrant workers in this diocese.
• Address environment and sustainability issues, especially Climate Change.
• Consider older people and their needs.
• Increase the number of visitors to churches, church halls and centres.
• Provide pastoral support for those in employment through WORKCARE. 

 The position of Director for Social Responsibility is currently vacant.
