Really looking forward to sharing the stage with the Two Pauls. Past sessions have generated great questions and discussions. So please do come armed with your questions to help us continue this trend.

Thank you @bishopnorwich for highlighting this. The importance of #community #vigilance in protecting #Church #buildings #historic #fabric is at the forefront of @Ecclesiastical approach and this shows it in action. Fabulous 👏🏽👏🏽.
Serious point though - churches continue to be plagued by roof lead theft and have precious items stolen from within them. Better to be vigilant and let the police know of suspicious activity around our nation’s churches and other places of worship.

How brilliant is this 👏🏽 Vigilance is one of @Ecclesiastical tops tips against metal theft
ecclesiastical.com
The threat of metal theft is an ongoing concern for churches. Our guidance gives tips and advice to help protect your church from criminals.
An all round great story. Well done folks who rang the police when they saw something unexpected and potentially suspicious on a church roof. Everyone do this! #HeritageCrime @bishopnorwich
