How your church can bring about positive change in your community, with Transformation Cornwall
2024-04-23 10:00 - 11:00 (Europe/London) | online
This CMD session will highlight how to build a project in your church for your community. We will look at a community-asset based approach, the effect of this on sustainability and impact for your community, funding, and the benefits of evaluation. It will be discussion led with opportunities to discuss ideas, and case studies of social action project success.
This session will be led by Transformation Cornwall’s Operations Director, Charlotte Butler. Charlotte has worked across various fields with a focus on fighting social injustice, in both the UK and worldwide; from developing education programmes on creative entrepreneurship and sustainable development, to working with survivors of modern slavery.
Transformation Cornwall offers churches and organisations alike, across Cornwall, project support which can include anything from clarifying the vision of your project, developing (and sustaining) your project team, identifying prospective funders, developing consultation events in your community, organisational governance, finding data to support your work and help with evaluation.

Revd Mark James, a Lead Consultant of the globally recognised governance authority DQM GRC, brings a wealth of knowledge and practical expertise to the conversation about the intersection of artificial intelligence and faith-based initiatives, more so perhaps as Mark is also an SSM, associate Priest serving in the Bude and coastal benefice.
In an era where technology permeates every aspect of life, the Anglican church stands at a crossroad, contemplating the role of artificial intelligence within its ministry. Mark is hosting an explorative workshop designed to delve into the potential harmonies and dissonances between AI applications and the values we are to uphold.
As a discussion-led event, attendees are encouraged to bring their insights, questions, and experiences to the table. Together, we will navigate the complex landscape of AI, seeking to understand its place in enhancing the reach and impact of our ministry in today’s tech-driven world.
