Living Buildings 15 May 2010

The Living Building event was held on the 15th May and was a time of encouragement for all who attended. The keynote addresses from Anne Sloman, Chair of the Church’s Building Council, and from Rachel Treweek, Archdeacon of Northoult, envisioned many to see how their buildings could be used to enable more meaningful engagement with local communities. A choice of 12 workshops gave individuals a chance to ‘dig deeper’ into a range of topics including ‘Welcoming People’, ‘The World of Grants’, ‘Tourism, Buildings and Mission and ‘Rural Churches - blessing or curse?’ These were followed by stories from Langwith, Pilsley and Stanton by Dale, which each spoke of how buildings have been transformed in our own diocese.

Below are a list of resources / presentations that were given on the day
