Our church is committed to ‘Justice, Dignity and Solidarity’.
We believe that all people are uniquely made in the image of God, and we aim to live this out in the Church and in our communities.
This means we aim:
- To celebrate the rich diversity of people within our Church and community
- To eradicate all discrimination, to treat all people justly and with dignity across the Church
- To support a profound change in the culture, practices and attitudes of the wider Church so that all are able to be full participants in the Church’s life.
We invite all to be part of this work of God, as we develop our mission and ministry together.
