  FAITH & JUSTICE
 
The vision of the Faith and Justice Board of the Diocese of Sheffield is to seek a just, inclusive, outward looking and participative Church and Society.
 
The department works in a number of ways to achieve this:
 
The Dawn Project works to help adults and children move on from the experience of divorce and the breakdown of long-term relationships.

Bishop's Urban Advisers - The Bishop has appointed clergy from each of the city and metropolitan borough areas in the Diocese to act as advisers on urban life and ministry. Their role will not only be to advise the Bishop, but also to bring their knowledge and expertise to others in urban areas working through issues of presence, development and mission. The advisers are Canon Julian Sullivan from Sheffield the Revd Steve Millwood from Rotherham and the Revd Tony Sophianou from Doncaster.


The Church Urban Fund has enabled many church-based projects within the Diocese to make a real difference to the lives of individuals and communities.


South Yorkshire Churches Together for Regeneration is an ecumenical project that seeks to enable church groups actively to engage in the regeneration of their communities


The South Yorkshire Churches Major Incident Plan is operated from our office and brings together Christian volunteers from all denominations to provide practical help in the event of a major incident in the area.


Help for Parishes The Faith and Justice Office administers a number of small grant-making funds to help projects and individuals in the parishes and communities within the Diocese

Sexuality. The Sexuality Working Group meets to discuss issues of human sexuality, to support the Bishop's Adviser on Sexuality and to organise events.

Black Anglican Concerns. The Diocesan Black Anglican Concerns Group supposrt the Bishop's Adviser on Black Concerns and oversees the Faith and Justice Department's work in promoting race and cultural awareness.

Health Concerns A new group formed in the Diocese from practitioners and interested people explores how the Church can involve itself in current health issues.
