The Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) is a group of formal members and consultants all of whom volunteer their time and professional knowledge to assist parishes in looking after and appreciating their church buildings. From stained glass and sustainability to landscape and liturgy, every aspect is covered and details of all our current members are available in the membership list. The committee meets roughly every 6 weeks to consider faculty applications and informal proposals, and members regularly attend site visits throughout the diocese.

The committee is assisted by Adam Klups – Care of Churches and DAC Team Leader, Hilary Menendez – Assistant Church Buildings Officer (working Tues – Thurs) and Teresa Hudson – Team Administrator (working hours split across Tues – Thurs)

A calendar of meeting dates and corresponding deadlines is available to download below, along with the DAC’s constitution and a more thorough introduction to the committee’s work.

If you have any queries regarding the DAC, please contact us.
