About the From Lament to Action: Resourcing Inclusion course

This study and reflection day with The Rev Canon Dr Chigor Chike will explore how we deal with racisim, diversity and inclusion within our congregations and local communities within the context of the Church of England’s “From Lament to Action” report.

The day will consider the following questions:
How has the Christian tradition been used to support racism?
How can the church and its people come to a fuller understanding that racism is a problem for everyone, and how can we challenge systems and structures that are racist?
What are effective strategies for congregations and communities for anti-racism?
What are micro-aggressions and how might we address them?
How does the Church of England think of its identity in relation to this issue?
What can parishes comprised of people who are solely white do?
Where does modern-day slavery fit into all this?
What skills or ideas are beneficial for clergy working in diverse area?

What our students say

Clergy Study Breaks

The opportunity for clergy to get away occasionally from their own context, to have an overnight stay in the beautiful setting of Sarum College and all that the Salisbury Cathedral Close offers is hugely valuable. All the clergy I have suggested who have spent 24hrs at Sarum College have benefit greatly from the experienced mentoring where they can talk, reflect, think, plan and pray.

The support and encouragement they receive is excellent and has a positive on their on going ministry. This is something the Diocese of Rochester encourages and supports financially in preparation for their clergy preparing for Extended Ministerial Development Leave (Sabbatical).

— Canon Christopher Dench, Diocese of Rochester Director of Formation and Ministry

Retreats and Private Stays

When I arrived, exhausted and sensitive, I was grateful not to be asked by Reception were I came from, whether I had had a good journey etc. That was the kind of hospitality I needed: a non-intrusive welcome that was found in ancient cultures and still survives in some societies today, where the host asks questions about a stranger and his journey only when the visitor has rested and been given food and drink.

— guest on a private stay

Biblical Study Breaks

I just found it very refreshing – as a leader of a church I don’t get as many opportunities to step out and do courses (my fault, not the church!) and so I loved it. I think it was run really well online – which is a difficult medium to work with.

Pádraig Ó Tuama (pictured) was outstanding in his balance of getting us to engage and sharing his learning. Also the quick availability of resources provided by Sarum College Librarian Jayne Downey was excellent.
