                        For the past three summers, the Diocese has hosted a series of 'Art in Church' evenings, exploring how to enjoy the art we have in churches, understand it better, and connect it to God and our faith. This year's gatherings explored three creations, each with its own character and story to tell. Around 100 people attended the evenings to explore the role of art in faith.

                        When life gradually returned to normality after the Covid pandemic, some things struggled to get off the ground again. For Christ Church Downend, this was the case for some of their connections with their local schools. The loss of relationships, combined with a desire to work more closely with other nearby schools, led the parish to employ a ‘Growing Faith Chaplain’.
