\u2026And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you\u00a0but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear Friend,<\/p>\n

Greetings in the name of One who calls us to justice, mercy, and love.<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to consider this opportunity to make a change in the life of the Church in one of the most diverse cities in the world, home to over 300 spoken languages.<\/p>\n

To reach our vision for every Londoner to encounter the love of God in Christ, we need to be active in combatting racism and racial injustice. In our response to\u00a0From Lament to Action<\/em>\u00a0published by the Archbishops\u2019 Anti Racism Task force, we have acknowledged in the Diocese of London the continuing legacy of racial inequity within our structures and processes. As part of our 2030 Vision, we have set the ambitious priority of becoming a more \u2018racially just\u2019 Church. Specifically:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • To foster a culture within the\u00a0Diocese that is built on love, fairness, equity, justice, collaboration, and integrity<\/li>\n
  • To facilitate learning that allows for greater understanding of the injustice of racism<\/li>\n
  • To break down mental, cultural, and institutional barriers that exist within the diocesan structures, policies, and processes to engender true race equality<\/li>\n
  • To give greater attention to \u2018truth telling\u2019 that seeks to challenge the historical legacy of slavery and systemic racism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Over the past four years this priority, fully supported by\u00a0London\u2019s College of Bishops, has been enabled by the\u00a0Racial Justice Priority Group,<\/em>\u00a0which has developed and implemented new policies and provisions, with many new initiatives in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

    We are heartened to see the energy and passion to broaden the work around racial justice across the\u00a0Diocese \u2013 from parishes and deaneries to our synodical leadership structures. We are at a pivotal moment to commit our resources into tangible action, prayerfully enabling the Church to become more racially just. The time has come to look for an inspiring individual to take up the responsibility of leading the work of Racial Justice as a priority across the Diocese, to impact change and nurture an equitable future for all.<\/p>\n

    If you would like to join us in this\u00a0pilgrimage of justice\u00a0and have the passion, determination, and skill to undertake such a task, then please get in touch with our advisor who will be happy to help you and arrange an informal conversation before applying. We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n

    +Sarah Mullally<\/strong>, Bishop of London and<\/em>\u00a0+Anderson Edmonton<\/strong>,\u00a0Lead Bishop for Racial Justice.<\/em><\/p>\n
