We are developing diocesan based networks of Christians, both clergy and lay, who share our aims. These networks can support one another in local campaigning, work to ensure strong representation in the governance structures of the Church of England, and be a voice in their diocese for greater equality. We are also aware that there are many inclusive minded people currently in churches of a more conservative outlook who would appreciate being in touch with inclusive Christians in their area. Forming those connections is something that a diocesan network could help with. The diocesan networks are supported centrally by the national Together team.
Together already has a significant presence on the General Synod through elected members who share the aims of tackling discrimination. Integrating this presence on General Synod with diocesan networks will make a significant difference to how equality and inclusion can be promoted in the Church.
If you would like to be in contact with your diocesan Together network, the contacts we currently have are as follows:
