What does Christian leadership for the Common Good look like? How can churches fulfil their unique civic role?

Whether you are a lay person, a priest, vicar, pastor, deacon, religious brother or sister, a leader in a diocese or Christian organisation, a bishop, a chaplain or a lay minister, you are in a unique position to encourage and equip others. As the fallout of the pandemic hits our communities, Common Good leadership will be needed in all sectors. All the resources on this site will help to build your capacity and most are free.
