Does your church host a phone mast? Has it been undercompensated for doing so? The Electronic Communications Code 2017 has resulted in landowners being paid far less for hosting telecoms equipment. If your church has been affected, let us know by emailing help@savetheparish.com

“The pressure of the parish share can cause anxiety, shame, and embarrassment among the clergy” - an essential and timely report, well covered in the @ChurchTimes.

At the same Synod, the Bishop of @BathWells is putting forward a proposal to refloat dioceses, who had to pick up the bill for the Commissioners' disastrous decade in the 90s and have suffered ever since. If both of these happen, parishes will be much more sustainable!

The Church of England, in so much mess at the top, has the opportunity to right some serious wrongs at the lower end of the scale - in the parishes working among the poorest populations. Having stripped them of money a decade ago, now is the time to put that money back.
