The Diocese of York
A Commitment to Children and Young People
The Diocese of York believes
· All human beings are loved by God and are of unique worth to God whatever their gender, ethnicity, ability or age.
· Children and young people have a special place in the Kingdom of God.
· The Church values and appreciates children and young people in the same way as all other members of the Church family.
· The Church should provide children and young people with a safe and welcoming environment and actively involve them in its life.
· Appropriate support, training and encouragement should be provided for all who work among children and young people.
The churches of the Diocese of York commit themselves to engage with children and young people in a wide range of contexts, with the aim that all children and young people should have the opportunity to become fully alive in God by:
· Experiencing God
For example: hearing and learning from the stories of God; knowing God’s love through our Lord Jesus Christ; experiencing God through relationships with others; recognising that faith affects all aspects of life; developing gifts for mission and ministry.
· Developing a relationship with God by the Holy Spirit
For example: enjoying prayer and worship that is accessible and appropriate; creating their own worship; leading and teaching others.
· Helping to further God’s Kingdom
For example: evangelism by children and young people, telling their own stories of God; working for a better society; caring for others, both near and far; working for justice and peace.
· Caring for God’s creation
For example: sharing what we have with others; acknowledging the Christian responsibility to the poor, the weak, the needy and future generations; actively caring for the environment.
· Being valued by and valuing the Church
For example: participating fully in the life of the Church; being recognised in decision-making; taking responsibility for their part within it.
