Archbishop Justin Welby and Alan Smith, First Estates Commissioner will be joining a panel, hosted by the Diocese of Gloucester, on Tuesday 17 May to reflect on how the Church has been tackling the housing crisis.
Please note: this event has now run, and the full Zoom recording is now available on the right, under ‘Latest videos’.
One year on from the release of the Archbishops’ Commission on Housing, Church and Community’s bold new vision for housing and community – Coming Home, we are bringing together a panel of experts to share what’s happening on the ground and answer your questions.
This event is part of the Diocese of Gloucester’s Responding to Growth Network of planners, developers, church leaders and those involved in the construction industry. We meet three times a year on Zoom to discuss the latest policies and research in new housing and to apply that knowledge in their work.
On 17 May, our panel is
- The Most Revd Archbishop Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
- The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehquani, the Church of England’s Bishop for Housing and Bishop of Chelmsford.
- Alan Smith, First Estates Commissioner, Chair of the Church Commissioners’ Assets Committee, a statutory committee responsible for the strategic management of the Church Commissioners’ £9.2 billion investment portfolio.
- Benjamin Preece Smith, Gloucester Diocesan Secretary and Leader of the Archbishops’ Housing Initiative Executive Team
- The Revd Ed Sauven, Pioneer Minister in the Stroud Deanery, Diocese of Gloucester.
