Penal Affairs Group
This group has been formed to provide a focus for criminal justice issues in the diocese and to form a network of Christians within it, who share a concern for these issues. Commitment, in the first instance, is to:-
- Informing ourselves about criminal justice issues and relating them to our faith / theology,
- Informing others and raising awareness within the diocese, including providing prayer / study materials and in-put to Continuing Ministerial Education,
- Telling congregations about opportunities that exist to help practically, in order to recruit volunteers from across the diocese,
- Having a voice in the political environment and bringing pressure to bear on policy-makers,
- Building partnerships with bodies such as HACRO (Hertfordshire Assocation for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders) that share our concerns,
- Linking up with similar groups in other dioceses (where they exist), with church-based groups at the national level and ecumenical groups, nationally or locally.
