The Civic Engagement Conference organised by the Churches Action Network in Bath brought together over 150 Christians from the Somerset area to a conference at the Assembly Rooms in Bath to debate the role of the Church in modern society and the tasks that churches can and/or should be getting more actively involved in working with communities.

As one of the speakers my theme was how Local Councils and active Church networks such as CAN can build up a better partnership to deliver better outcomes for individuals and families and communities.
