The Diocese abandon it's loyal congregation

Oct 25

The Diocese have stated:

"the decision was taken to end the partnership with Action Deafness"

"significant changes to the context of their work"

"It is taking time to withdraw from the relationship"

"as a result we are not nominating new Trustees"

Where does that leave us?

Without a church that's where it leaves us!

What next?

Typical. The Deaf community are always the last to know. And this is from people that are supposed to know how hard it is for Deaf people to access information. Pathetic. Looks like no one is brave enough to actually tell the truth anymore.

Will the last person to leave the sinking ship please turn the lights off.

Looks like that's all you will be able to do!
There's no chance of a lifeboat! They have been filled with the board, the CEO and the new business's.
The community will be left to sink or swim!

As I understand it the Diocese has made a committment to continue to support the Deaf Church/Chaplaincy.
Whatever happens you will have a church - our Loughborough Church is still meeting but within another building, and the Chaplain continues to support the Hard of Hearing group services in their new Loughborough venue.
If you lose your Deaf church building there is little the Diocese can do at this stage - that would be down to management decisions at Action Deafness - but it will continue to offer services, wherever they may be based.
