The essence of Christianity

Will you use the faith you’ve found, to reshape the world around, through my sight, and touch and sound in you and you in me? The Summons - Iona Community

The Board of Social Responsibility works in partnership with the Church, Statutory Agencies and the Voluntary and Community Sector to bring in God’s Kingdom here on earth, and to address issues of injustice and oppression.

We are passionate about Growing the Kingdom in the Diocese of Durham, and the good news is that we have many groups and individuals, who are cultivating the Kingdom and helping us to bring in the harvest.
