Become a Building Faith Supporter

A new campaign is now underway to convey the message that church buildings are vital but overlooked national resources that deserve substantially greater government support.

At the General Synod meeting in February 2006, the Rt Revd Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, called for a “campaigning spirit sufficient to rouse the sleeping giant that is the Church of England to see the many opportunities our buildings offer to re-connect with the people of England for the sake of God.”

Now the giant is set to be woken with a series of initiatives aimed at getting the huge social contribution of church buildings onto the political agenda – and persuading Government that 50 per cent of the cost of repairs to church buildings ought to be met from public sources.

Become part of a grassroots information campaign to show government, statutory bodies and the public how much church buildings matter to the whole community and that they deserve and need realistic help to secure their future – and the vital resource they provide in local communities.

Become a Building Faith Supporter and join our network of people, at national, regional and local level, within the Church and outside, to be kept informed of developments, approached directly about new initiatives and who will tell us their stories about the achievements of churches in their communities, and spread the word themselves within their locals and regional contacts
