Submerging Church? Supporting Faith-Based Community Work In Deprived Areas

At CUF, we are committed to supporting those who serve deprived communities, as they live and work alongside some of the poorest and most marginalised people in England.

As part of this work, we held series of overnight consultations for clergy and community workers from deprived parishes to reflect on the key challenges they face and to begin to develop a shared vision for tackling poverty in their diocese. This note summarises the discussions from the first six consultation events in 2011 and 2012.
