Diocesan Policies
The guiding principle of Safe Church is to protect the vulnerable and offer us, as Episcopalians, the opportunity to be good neighbors.
Safe Church Model Policies were adopted in 2017 and can be found on The Episcopal Church’s website. They include model policies for safe ministries, for children and youth, and for vulnerable adults. At the 80th General Convention, leaders recommended the Safe Church, Safe Community program.
The new and updated program, Safe Church, Safe Communities, was launched in the summer of 2021. Safe Church, Safe Communities provides new and updated training modules for clergy, laity, and parish staff. These resources give dioceses and parishes across the church the tools necessary to ensure that the most vulnerable among us find an Episcopal Church community of faith that is welcoming and safe.
