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 the priority areas for 2007-2010 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 MIWW.

Who Cares?  Social Responsibility Report

Who Cares?' gives a snapshot of the Social Responsibility work currently being undertaken in the Diocese of Coventry. Taken together, these caring initiatives across Coventry and Warwickshire and in the wider West Midlands Region make a significant contribution to community well-being. The transformation of communities is a key element in our diocesan strategy and parish life and we can rejoice in the efforts being made by so many to this end.
