The “Exeter Hub” in Bristol!

On Tuesday 10 June, Joseph Davies – EIG’s Church Support Officer for the Southern Dioceses – will address a gathering at the magnificent church of St Mary, Redcliffe.                                                            

Meeting from 11.30am, the presentation will take us until about 1pm – when there will be an opportunity to find lunch together, nearby.

Joseph will present some of Ecclesiastical’s latest advice, prepared for Major Churches, on Emergency Planning. 

He writes: “An adverse event such as a fire, flood, storm or loss of IT can occur with minimal warning but affect greatly the mission and planned activities of a church. Those churches that plan for such eventualities, identifying potential threats to the services and activities they offer, and the actions required should an adverse event occur, are much better placed to be able to resume normal activities at the earliest opportunity.”

The presentation will offer practical suggestions to help identify and understand the key threats, to develop an emergency plan to assist in the immediate aftermath of an adverse event, and to review practice and update your plan on a periodical basis.

Of potential interest to incumbents, churchwardens, operations managers and vergers, the meeting is open to any Major Churches who may find it helpful.
