Faith at Work
The ‘Faiths at Work’ programme brought together working people from different faith communities to share the experience of being a person of faith in a workplace and to explore the value that faith brings to work. The three groups met together for a meal in national Interfaith Week to think about the next steps for the programme.

The latest booklet in the Just So series has ideas and insights on public theology and the economy from Revd Dr John Reader and Revd Phillip Jones. A printed copy will be sent to clergy in the diocese and an electronic version can be downloaded from the Diocese of Worcester website.

The General Election
In the next few months we will be voting in a general election. The vital underlying question is ‘What sort of society do we want to create and live in?’
As part of the West Midlands Regional Churches Forum, CIGB has helped to draft questions for parliamentary candidates in key policy areas that affect us all. The questions may be asked at a local hustings or to candidates individually.
