To be a predator is to be a deceiver. That means there are some in our midst who do not look like what they are and because we are unaware of any known cases does not mean we are safe. Protecting our children and ALL vulnerable ones should be part of the DNA of the church.
The LOUDfence at St Anne's Church in Buxton. The response has been overwhelming. Thank you for making your compassion visible Buxton @stannesbuxton @margaret_swift
On my way to the LOUDfence at @stannesbuxton in Buxton. It's not too late to send them a message. The parish safeguarding rep tells me the response has been overwhelming. Please keep survivors and @NottsDiocese in your prayers today. We are #onechurch
Just finished threading ribbons on the messages from children at St John Henry Newman School in Carlisle for the Buxton LOUDfence @stannesbuxton. These children are the future of the church and they are teaching us what compassion should look like. @NottsDiocese
