Communications and Engagement Team
We run the diocese website and social media channels, an e-newsletter Roots & Shoots, compile a monthly prayer diary and publish an annual report.
We can provide media training, including social media and broadcast training for your church. The national Church of England Media Centre also has loads of great advice for making the most of your church communications, visit Digital Labs for useful resources.
For written guidance on websites, social media, video, photography and online giving/fundraising tools go to the CPO Digital Toolkit.

Glossary of Words The Church of England uses some titles and terminology which can seem baffling if you don’t know what they mean. While we aim to write and speak in plain English, we have also put together a useful Glossary of church words to help you know your prebendary from your venerable etc.
