‘Crossing the Threshold’; A Community Development Approach to the Use of Church Buildings

 This is the first in the national ‘Crossing the Threshold’ programme, a series of events aimed at helping dioceses and parishes get the best from their buildings for wider community use.

The programme marks the fifth anniversary of the launch of the Church of England’s national strategy document, Building Faith in Our Future, and will share experiences from around the dioceses, and from experts within and outside the Church.

  produced in partnership with Herefordshire Council
  and Shropshire RCC..
