Jesus' message was to all people.   Jews and Greeks,  male and female,  slave or free.   Our commitment is to the whole breadth of the community in the UK and beyond.   We recognise that poverty and poor education are the most serious factors which lead people to be excluded from mainstream society.  We have adopted the Millennium Development Goals and are working with our partners abroad  to seek to bring these about.   http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ 

The Anglican Communion is currently locked in controversy over the full inclusion of LGBT people in its life.  We are committed to bring that about.  This section gives details of our work.

There is also unfinished business over the ordination of women.  Until women can be full,  equal members of the House of Bishops, the Church will be unable to celebrate the ministry of women and men in all its fullness.   Find out more on our work by clicking on the link.

Even though black and minority ethnic people make up a very significant part of the Church of England - well over 50% of churchgoers in some Dioceses - the leadership and governance of the church doesn't reflect this.  We are working with the Association of Black Clergy and others to remove the barriers to full participation.
