At an event on the 15 February, members of the White Horse Team Ministry churches, along with others from churches in the community and surrounding areas, gathered to explore the topic of disability justice and church inclusion.We explored key themes in disability theology, looked at research data outcomes, shared practical suggestions for increasing accessibility and inclusion, received a fantastic time of sharing from Revd Neil Robinson (Chaplain to the Deaf and hard of hearing community in Salisbury Diocese) and joined in a time of inclusive worship.It was a wonderful day of sharing and learning together.Thank you so much to all of those who came along on a cold day to explore this important topic together. And a big thank you to those who helped with setting up, with the tech on the day, with welcoming, serving refreshments and with the running of the day. The support and hard work of the team involved is very much appreciated.If anyone would like to access the resources pack from the day this can be found at the link below:https://media.acny.uk/media/events/attachment/2025/01/5768d2a8-b63a-44ae-95c5-dfa1dfd84446.pdfIf you would like to view a recording of the whole day, or any part of the day, this can be found at this below link:https://www.youtube.com/live/uSDDiwlX8Do?si=X1LNqNZGVoMuMkAsFor a copy of the slides from the day please get in touch with me by email at:teamcurate@whtministry.org.ukWe are now in the process of getting together a Disability and Church Inclusion Committee group who can meet to discuss key issues, create reports and updates for the PCC, and ensure that key next steps are being actioned.

We were delighted to present three candidates for confirmation at Salisbury Cathedral on Saturday 2 November.Three young people: Amelia Gurke (age 12) and two young adults, Amy and Kieran. There were 49 candidates in total at the service from all over the Diocese. It was a powerful and moving service which took place in three parts of the building: at the west end for the presentation; at the font where some candidates were baptised and at the chancel where the confirmation itself took place. Bishop Andrew was the presiding Bishop and the honorary Bishop Robert Atwell also took part. We continue to pray for our three candidates as they find their places in our church community at All Saints. Congratulations to them all! Photo of Amelia
