BLACKBURN

Every year, thousands of churches across the country unite to mark Safeguarding Sunday. It's a chance to listen and to talk together about how we can create places that are safer for everyone. Protecting vulnerable people from harm and speaking up for their rights is an integral part of our scriptural mandate as Christians (Proverbs 31:8). But sadly, the church hasn't always done this well. In our headlines and newsfeeds, we read many examples of the hurt and harm that has happened and is continuing to happen in our churches and across society. But we have a chance to stop it... We are inviting our parishes, schools and chaplaincies to make 2025 a year of prayer for growth and renewal.
