STP NORFOLK CONFERENCE

Saturday 5 September 2026
at Norwich School, 71A The Close, Norwich NR1 4DD in the Blake Studio, from 2.00pm. until 4.00/4.30pm

There is parking for 20 cars approx in the playground in front of the Studio Building
Light refreshments/toilet facilities will be available on arrival

Rural parishes collectively make up over 30% of church attendance on a Sunday and contribute a similar percentage in parish share, yet over the last decade they have been starved of resources and in many cases sadly neglected by the central church. This is an opportunity to hear what the future might hold, not just for them but also urban parishes which are not immune to many of the changes the future might bring.

Speakers:
• Mark Little, ‘Life in a Rural Parish’
• Professor Roy Faulkner and Sue Watford, ‘The Slippery Slope’
• Andrew Orange, ‘The Church of England, A Financial Overview’
• The Bishop of Lynn, Tim Sweeting, Diocesan Secretary and Jo Smithson, Director of Finance, ‘The Diocesan Perspective’
• Emma Thompson, ‘Overview from National STP’

This is a golden opportunity to hear from a wide range of experienced speakers what the future might hold and in the case of ‘The Slippery Slope’ what is happening in one diocese and could so easily spread to us.

PLEASE do publicise this event within your Deanery, Benefice and Parishes.

It would be helpful regarding refreshments if by the 22 August you could e.mail to [email protected] an indication of numbers likely to attend and who they will represent e.g. parish, benefice. Any immediate questions please to the same e.mail or John Brydon Tel: 01603 452701
