Sustainability of churches – Consultation

Editor News

The English Churches and Cathedrals Sustainability Review into the sustainability of English churches is the first ever government Review into the future of Church of England church buildings. Loyd Grossman, Chair of the Heritage Alliance sits on the panel carrying out the review.

The review is seeking the views of individuals and organisations who are interested in the future of England’s churches and cathedrals. You have until noon on 31 January 2017.

As we understand it, this Review and therefore consultation relates to Church of England churches. We feel there is a lack of clarity about how other denominations and faith groups should respond. They could answer the final question which is free-form but limited in its length; or they may feel it is more beneficial to respond to the call for evidence by writing to the Review secretariat rather than by completing the questionnaire. The Review can be contacted at churches.review@culture.gov.uk, or by writing to the Churches Review Secretariat, DCMS, 4th Floor, 100 Parliament Street, London SW1A 2BQ.

We suggest you access the questionnaire from HRBA’s website, as they have provided some useful feedback based on the experience of other users.
