Duty of Care

The Christian Faith strongly upholds the virtues of love, mercy and justice. From Luke’s Gospel we know that Jesus came to give freedom to the captives, sight to the blind and liberty to those who were oppressed. Jesus came for people. He came to give all of humankind the gift of Salvation but was interested in the practicalities of people’s lives as well.

In our churches, indeed in all of society, many people aim to follow the example of Jesus; to free, heal and liberate those who are captives, sick or oppressed. The example of Jesus is one on which all leaders within our churches and their associated groups should model their leadership and their lives. As a community of God’s people, we should also be committed to ensuring that all of our churches are places that are safe in every respect for those who join with us.
