Community statement

Welcome, dignity and participation.

The commitments that shape how Shira approaches dignity, participation and care in practice.

Statement

What Shira seeks to hold together.

Dignity

People should feel treated with seriousness and respect in prayer, learning and community life.

Participation

Shira aims to make participation visible and practical in communal life.

Welcome

People should be able to understand how to take part and feel that they belong.

Care

Community responsibility includes lifecycle support, pastoral care and thoughtful attention to people’s circumstances.

Questions or feedback

The statement is only useful if it is lived.

Our administrator, Rachel, and pastoral care remain the right first contacts if someone wants to raise a question, ask for support or talk through how a community commitment should work in practice.
