Health, Safety & Wellbeing

Every person, being created in God’s image, has infinite worth and unique value, and may expect our best commitment to their health, safety, and well-being when interacting with us. Every ministry activity and operational undertaking carried out by the Diocese, regardless of its form, seeks to bring glory to God and to uphold the safety and well-being of all involved.
