Communications and Engagement Team
The Communications team aims to share good news about the work that the Church of England in Devon is doing, tell the stories that need to be told and provide advice and support for clergy and parishes in dealing with local and national media.
We run the diocese website and social media channels, an e-newsletter Roots & Shoots, compile a monthly prayer diary and publish an annual calendar.
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: https://www.churchofengland.org/digital-labs
