Here at Holy Innocents we hope you will find:
Space
A spiritual space which is calm, uncluttered, cared for and valued
A space of quiet integrity which allows for reflection, contemplation and sometimes exhilaration
Worship
A gathering round the bread and wine of the Eucharist
Music which can soothe, restore and lift the spirit
Silences which give you time to breathe
Formal and structured, thoughtfully planned yet relaxed in delivery
Challenging, respectful of ambiguity and mystery
Social action
Inclusive, valuing our difference
Resisting injustice
Prayer leading to action in support of others
People
A varied mix of every description
Interested in others
Emotionally aware, respectful
Who feel free to be and not do
A constant in a changing city
The parish of Birch with Fallowfield is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Manchester’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
For more information on our specific safeguarding policies please follow the Safeguarding link on our church website menu.
