Distance Education- Emerging Technologies and Opportunities in AfricaTerry Anderson
Distance education shows promise for expanding access to education in Africa but faces many challenges. It can increase enrollment and lower costs if implemented effectively, but may not be suitable for all subjects or students. While distance education has grown significantly in Africa, it has not fully met the increasing demand for higher education. New technologies like MOOCs and online learning hold potential to further scale educational opportunities, but quality, costs, and cultural factors must be considered.

Resumo:
Em 2012, dois pesquisadores japoneses elaboraram uma técnica, apresentada na Black Hat Europa do mesmo ano, que consiste em modificar um byte - sem ca usar crash do sistema - a fim de impedir que ferramentas de análise (Volatility, Memoryze e HBGary) consigam entender e posteriormente interpretar um dump de memória. Esta técnica ficou conhecida como Abort Factor. Durante suas pesquisas, Takahiro Haruyama e Hiroshi Suzuki identificaram três operações críticas e comuns nas ferramentas de análise de memória: - Tradução do endereço virtual em kernel space - Identificação do Sistema Operacional e arquitetura do dump - Obtenção de objetos do kernel Dessa forma, através da manipulação de apenas um byte nas estruturas relacionadas a cada um dos itens acima, foi possível tornar esse dump incompreensível para ferramentas de análise forense. Pesquisamos no OctaneLabs a técnica do Abort Factor e demonstraremos como é possível identificar o ataque, bem como reverter/corrigir um dump de memória de uma máquina onde a técnica foi usada.

Church Planting Essay
Introduction
Over the years, church planters passionately stepped into church planting across the globe at great costs in obedience to God s call. Some used the mother church method and cell or house church method in cross cultural settings. Some planters believe that it is the quality of their planting methods, effective publicity, attractive programmes, missional teams and resources that will make their church plant successful. Whereas these are helpful, the central factor is the God of mission, who, through the work of the Holy Spirit and the gospel reveals himself to people, convicts of sin, transforms people and brings them salvation.

This may have assisted the birth of a more outward looking church, but was not a direct precursor of church planting and helpfully has often been confused with it.

This is a digital solution for a youth leader engagement problem I was asked to solve for an NGO called Ampleforth Centre for Theology and Spirituality (HK).
My Role: Head researcher, content strategist, prototyping, information architect, interface designer, user testing.
We applied the User experience process of discovering the problem, researched through interviews and focus groups, affinity mapping, creating personas, storyboarding, wireframing, prototyping, user testing and reiterating. The idea of a website was proposed to address the major issue of the lack of resource sharing platform, and gamified learning, the mobile version of the website was created as a high-fidelity prototype.
The solution was proposed to the board of directors and existing members, and the project is currently under development.
College of the Rockies - Community Engagement Session #3TraceyEvans25
The College of the Rockies is undertaking an initiative to enhance the student experience through the creation of a “learning commons” consisting of engaging and supportive space(s), services, partnerships and technologies that will facilitate progressive learning, teaching and campus connections and experiences for all students, employees and the larger regional community.
To start the process, the Library is hosting a series of community engagement sessions to gather stakeholder input to understand users’ needs, requirements and preferences to improve library operations, user experiences and future partnership and expansion requirements.
The goal of the stakeholder sessions is to begin the conversation with the College of the Rockies community about how the existing library is, or is not, meeting your needs (for spaces, services, resources, technologies, etc.) and how you would like to see it evolve.
The input gathered at these sessions will drive the design decisions to determine how best to move the Library forward and enhance the student learning experience at the College of the Rockies.
During the third community engagement session, we will do a quick re-cap of what we heard during the last meeting, and then we will be talking about the next two design principles to consider when designing a learning commons space. All of the input that you provide will help us answer the main discussion question; how does the library move forward into a new one-stop shop “learning commons” that will merge key student success and support services within a 21st Century learning community?
Thank you to everyone who participated! Please join us for the fourth session on February 4 where we will discuss the final design principle to consider with learning commons design, as well as furniture solutions that can be incorporated into the new design.

- The document discusses asset mapping and provides examples of how it could be used in different contexts like working with primary care teams, developing personal networks, helping self-management champions, and maintaining mobility and community contact for older adults.
- It gives an example of how an asset mapping session could be structured and provides tips on materials, potential participants, and follow-up activities that could result from asset mapping.
- The overall document serves as a guide for facilitating asset mapping conversations and discussions in community settings.
This is a digital solution for a youth leader engagement problem I was asked to solve for an NGO called Ampleforth Centre for Theology and Spirituality (HK).
My Role: Head researcher, content strategist, prototyping, information architect, interface designer, user testing.
We applied the User experience process of discovering the problem, researched through interviews and focus groups, affinity mapping, creating personas, storyboarding, wireframing, prototyping, user testing and reiterating. The idea of a website was proposed to address the major issue of the lack of resource sharing platform, and gamified learning, the mobile version of the website was created as a high-fidelity prototype.
The solution was proposed to the board of directors and existing members, and the project is currently under development.
College of the Rockies - Community Engagement Session #3TraceyEvans25
The College of the Rockies is undertaking an initiative to enhance the student experience through the creation of a “learning commons” consisting of engaging and supportive space(s), services, partnerships and technologies that will facilitate progressive learning, teaching and campus connections and experiences for all students, employees and the larger regional community.
To start the process, the Library is hosting a series of community engagement sessions to gather stakeholder input to understand users’ needs, requirements and preferences to improve library operations, user experiences and future partnership and expansion requirements.
The goal of the stakeholder sessions is to begin the conversation with the College of the Rockies community about how the existing library is, or is not, meeting your needs (for spaces, services, resources, technologies, etc.) and how you would like to see it evolve.
The input gathered at these sessions will drive the design decisions to determine how best to move the Library forward and enhance the student learning experience at the College of the Rockies.
During the third community engagement session, we will do a quick re-cap of what we heard during the last meeting, and then we will be talking about the next two design principles to consider when designing a learning commons space. All of the input that you provide will help us answer the main discussion question; how does the library move forward into a new one-stop shop “learning commons” that will merge key student success and support services within a 21st Century learning community?
Thank you to everyone who participated! Please join us for the fourth session on February 4 where we will discuss the final design principle to consider with learning commons design, as well as furniture solutions that can be incorporated into the new design.
Suzanne Gibson 'Making Change in a Volunteer Run Museum'Ann Baillie
The manager of the Cairns Historical Society Museum summarizes efforts to make changes at the volunteer-run museum to make it more relevant and engaging for the local community. Planning work over the past two years included developing a new strategic plan, collection policy, and thematic surveys. Community engagement activities like a mobile history trailer helped get feedback. Reflections on the process note both successes in gaining funding and support for changes, as well as ongoing challenges around resources and buy-in. Overall, volunteers and stakeholders recognize positive changes but some work remains to fully modernize the museum's displays and operations.

It is being jointly organized by NIT Silchar, in association with its USA partner the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Magistra - Catechetical Services: For Pastoral Centers: Faith Education NetworkJames Maria
Presentation and the proposal document is for Pastoral Reviews and local implementation with support from Salesians of Don Bosco-Chennai Province, to have sustainable Catechetical Center(s) for Faith Formation (with Laity, Religious and Formation Houses in Diocese) as ongoing “teaching ministry” of the Catholic Church (Magisterium). Not for business sustenance. To nurture the catholic faith at personal, peer, family, parish and diocesan levels through faith education network by creating a generation of young and old, “rooted in Faith, more than the generation of their parents.”
Quotation: by Pope Benedict XVI (in Foreword of the YOUCAT).
This thesis examines how design can be used to facilitate personal engagement in a church community. The author conducted research at Valley View United Methodist Church, including interviews with visitors and observations of the visitor experience. Based on this research, the author created experience maps and identified key needs around authenticity, hospitality, understanding community culture, managing community activities, and fostering socialization and mentoring. The author then generated design concepts and prototypes to address these needs and enhance the visitor experience. The concepts focused on areas like a "Visitor Ambassador" service to help visitors make connections. The thesis demonstrates how taking a service design approach can help churches better understand and support the visitor experience.
The aim is to engage the Pastors in the Murewa UMP District in conversation for the purpose of informing, inspiring and engaging them to take an active role in building a robust communications ministry at the local church.
The document summarizes the goals and activities of the St. Monica, Berwyn Parish Pastoral Council. It discusses emphasizing ongoing pastoral planning to promote individual and communal renewal. It also reviews elements of pastoral planning like prayer, discernment and communication. The document outlines topics covered by the council including reviewing what the parish has done well, where it has struggled, and providing background on the parish transition. It proposes ideas for getting started with pastoral planning and council selection processes.
This document provides guidance for starting a Faith and Environment group in a congregation. It recommends gathering interested people, focusing on an environmental topic, and discussing project ideas. Key initial steps include setting meeting dates and contacts. Successful group activities include an Earth Day leaf commitment drive, a blessing of the animals service, and hosting speakers on wildlife habitats or local food. Resources recommended are videos from the HOPE Conference, the Greening Your Congregation handbook, and utilizing experts within the congregation. Contact information is provided for the Bishop's Committee on the Environment for additional support.
The document summarizes a consultation on the future of Christian youth work held in December 2007. Key topics of discussion included what the future may look like for young people, the ethics needed for future youth work, and the role of theology. Participants raised questions about how young people will build relationships in a virtual world and how they will react to issues like marginalization. The discussions highlighted the need to develop ethical stances and consider underlying values as youth work navigates complex issues in the future.
The document summarizes a conference called "Sustainable Places = Sustainable Communities" that explored engaging communities in town regeneration. The conference had over 60 delegates from across the UK, and included presentations from local councils and community organizations on successful engagement programs. Workshop sessions addressed creative engagement, unlocking local talents, investing in public spaces, and sustainable futures. Feedback indicated delegates found the speakers inspiring and gained knowledge on involving communities. The conference aimed to create a new "wheel for sustainable places" to continue the discussion.
This document discusses resources and advocacy for social justice work. It addresses both direct services, such as providing resources and referrals to those in need, as well as social justice advocacy, like legislative work. It provides examples of resources for direct services, such as food banks and shelters, and recommends establishing parish processes for social justice issues with involvement from the pastor and social justice committee. Case studies are presented as examples to brainstorm resources.
Wesleyan Science or Wesleyan Engineering?BarryEJones
This document discusses the relationship between science and engineering, and proposes a model for Methodist churches and clergy to engage more with their local communities through community organizing. Some key points:
- It argues that engineering focuses more on creating things that work to meet human needs, while science seeks understanding, and engineering has historically depended on science but not vice versa.
- It proposes that Methodist clergy be trained as both presbyters and community organizers, focusing more on engaging their local communities around issues of social justice, compassion, and human flourishing rather than internal church activities.
- The goal is for clergy to "speak truth to power" in their localities and encourage the church to serve the common good through both word and
The relationship between science, engineering and technology is discussed. The emphasis on useful practical outcomes for human benefit and human flourishing is then used to suggest how to "engineer" a new way forward for the British Methodist Church.

G.E. Street was a prolific 19th century English architect who designed and restored many churches in the Oxford Diocese between the 1850s-1870s. He completed works in over 20 churches across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire, ranging from full new builds to restorations and additions. Street had a respect for medieval architecture and incorporated traditional designs and materials like tile work, screens, and carved decorations in his church projects. Many of his church designs from this period still stand and are well preserved today.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Parish Church Interiors in Changing Times Summary of conference feedback and evaluation April 2016
1. 1
Prepared for publication April 2016 diana.evans@historicengland.org.uk
Parish Church Interiors Conference December 2015
Throughout the conference participants were encouraged to make comments and
offer feedback as they wished on flip charts and sheets provided on tables. In
addition, formal evaluation sheets (using the Historic England standard format) were
sent out to participants after the conference. The following is a summary of the rich
and constructive contributions made during and after the event.
Summary of comments collected during the conference
Key Topics
1. The need for training and guidance
2. Systems and processes
3. Significance and value
4. Specific requests or suggestions for action
1. The need for training and guidance (17 separate comments)
a. For clergy
The biggest single group of comments related to the need for clergy to be trained so
they have a ‘high level understanding of how they can use the significance of a
church building for mission by engaging with heritage, not working against it’. There
were suggestion that the training should be in ‘theologically attuned language’ and
that it should be provided as part of their initial three years of training so they could
‘appreciate, think through and understand the spiritual and historical context’.
Practical training on how to ‘manage, look after and develop church buildings’ was
also proposed. There was a particular comment that Archdeacons ‘should have
special building training and a career path in the church that supports that’.
b. For Amenity Societies
Amenity Societies could be encouraged to recognise the mission priorities of the
church. Comments were also made as to whether they were fit for purpose as
statutory consultees ‘They seem under-staffed, under-resourced and slow to
respond. Not always in the ‘real world’ either’.
c. For congregations
There was general recognition that there is plenty of guidance available but that more
needs to be done to ensure congregations access and use it. It was pointed out that
the ‘national literacy reading age is 12 years’ and that people need guidance that is
not only tailored for them but also help to prepare the complex documents that the
2. 2
Prepared for publication April 2016 diana.evans@historicengland.org.uk
legal processes require. A national searchable database of case studies, particularly
of buildings with extended uses, would be helpful.
Several comments related to the need to make congregations aware of the benefits
of early community engagement if changes are proposed. One suggested that
looking at the research undertaken by museums might be helpful, since this focussed
on why people didn’t use local museums and what could be done to attract them; the
church might want to commission similar research or develop practical suggestions
to help congregations engage more positively in their local communities.
Similarly it was felt clergy and congregations needed more encouragement to
‘engage with amenity societies and Historic England, rather than fearing them’.
2. Systems and processes (27 separate comments)
a. Consistency of decision-making
There was a general sense that process could be positive: ‘ Process is key; lots of
specialist knowledge, functioning buildings, local people’ but strong concerns about
consistency nationally and between theory and practice. There was reference to
‘considerable anecdotal evidence that Chancellors vary in their judgments; is this true
and does it matter?’ Others focussed on differences between DAC s in their
processes and the advice given. There was also a view that the ‘elephant in the
room’ was that ‘we are having a professional, well-argued discussion about decisions
almost entirely made by uninformed amateurs’ but appreciation that a combination of
experts and communities, provided there is effective communication, should produce
good decisions.
b. Statements of Significance and Need
Several comments were made about the quality of Statements. Some questioned
whether they would be improved by being written by being ‘professionalised’ but
others felt the priority is to empower congregations to have better discussion and
consultation before they started to write anything down. ‘Can CofE do more work on
getting parishes to do statements early on and get advice where needed?’ There
was also reference to Support Officers being involved and to Archdeacons prioritising
the congregations that need most help.
There was a suggestion that congregations should prepare draft statements before
approaching architects so they have ‘something to assess architect responses
against’ but another view was that congregations should get the architect on board
first.
c. Resourcing of the process
There were some specific examples where lack of resources hindered congregations
trying to understand their buildings, including the lack of maintenance for Church
Plans Online. There was also comment that the Church of England’s Church
Buildings Report advocates making changes and widening uses but doesn’t reflect
the resource implications in the recommendations e.g. no reference to increased
funding for community engagement, volunteer management, or feasibility studies.
The perceived difference in resources available to congregations, the central church
bodies and heritage bodies was identified, as was the need to help congregations
open up the debate with their communities.
3. 3
Prepared for publication April 2016 diana.evans@historicengland.org.uk
The existing legal models for community management, use and sharing of buildings
were flagged as having ‘problems… a lot more work needs to be done’ to make them
fit for purpose.
d. Public benefit and culture change
‘Public benefit is the survival of our historic churches for future generations to
appreciate’, the community should not delegate involvement to local conservation
officers but seek to be involved and to fund care for their parish church. There were
calls for ‘collaborative spirit, more view of equal partnership rather than the
congregation trying to sort out solutions’ so that it’s not ‘what churches can do for
communities but working with communities and organisations’; ‘the church is not the
PCC’s fiefdom to do as they wish’.
The overall view was that cultural change is needed so that congregations recognise
what they have inherited and their responsibilities to future generations about what
they pass on after their time as custodians and trustees. ‘Can you value the past and
adapt your liturgy to live with and make something of it… the privilege of caring for
the creative (inspired) patrimony’.
e. The need for evidence to support the process
Good decision-making is ‘not about objectivity, it is about being evidence-based’.
There was a call for better knowledge sharing, based on research including; 20th
century interiors, moveable furniture, fixtures and fittings.
Practical suggestions included: making Trevor Cooper’s Pew evaluation
questionnaire widely available so congregations could use it early on in their
development of plans for reordering and a ‘partnership of appropriate bodies to
produce a pack of visual material relating to seating options to help congregations
understand the longer-term implications of proposed changes e.g. ‘a photograph of a
fifteen year old upholstered chair.’
3. Significance and value (22 separate comments)
a. Contested significance
Comments ranged from those supporting change because ‘it has always been
happening’ to those complaining about ‘Antiquarian prejudice against the real world
and understanding of the recent past’. It was also pointed out that challenges for
adaptation vary for different building types as amenities such as lavatories and
kitchen are usually integral to post war church design and that some congregations,
by their very nature, would rather gather in a warehouse.
One comment reflected the view that ‘it is more important for a church to be
hospitable and fit for the 21st
century if it is to serve its neighbour’ but another
protested about the opposition between congregations and the historic environment,
pointing out that it is possible to be a member of both camps: ‘there are many church
goers who love and value their historic church interiors and are fed up with liturgical
changes and fabric reordering imposed from on high by clergy who apparently don’t
know or care about what their congregations think or feel, and are include to ignore
or bully into silence those who object. Reversibility is a good idea – when the
Liturgical Movement is dead we can put things back!’
4. 4

b. Fixtures and fittings
Several comments reflected on the need for as much evidence and understanding of
fixtures and fittings as possible before decisions to remove them are made.‘ You
should know what you have and how to understand it before seeking to change it’
and ‘Don’t take heritage in abundance for granted. It’s a finite resource with
importance to local areas’. This was also reflected in the question ‘Does richer mean
better?’ with an attached note requesting that significance should take into account
‘the value of the ordinary’.
The investment of previous generations was also noted along with the fact that once
thrown out these can never be recovered, ‘reorderings should always seek to retain
and reserve fittings and fixtures, adapting pews etc., not removing them completely
but making new from old, thus retaining the best.’
There was also concern that ‘The wrong people seem to be making decisions on
interiors of churches. Surely they are not the PCC’s territory to decide on removing
pews etc. as if it were their living room at home. Fixtures and fittings are an integral
part of the listed building and their removal or retention is an architectural matter and
should come from a thorough understanding and appreciation of the historic and
architectural value of the interior.’
Two comments related to heating systems; ‘I never realised heating systems could
be considered part of ‘significance’ and another raising concern about the lack of
information about under floor heating ‘performance, cost, historic floors’.
c. Intangible heritage
The issue of intangible heritage was implicit in much of the discussion and some
observations but there were three particular observations about its contribution to
significance. Two questioned whether emotional, spiritual, religious, political, social
and ‘sentimental’ importance is given adequate weight in assessing significance. A
third suggested that when additional uses for a church building are being considered
its role as a counter-cultural quiet space apart should be taken into consideration.
A fourth comment raised the importance of good design as a contribution to the
character of a place: ‘Carefully designed space may be better than freeform flexible
space for parish discipline. Anglicanism abhors a vacuum and fills in with junk’.
4. Specific requests or suggestions for action
a. Historic England (5 direct requests on four topics)
• Guidance to help congregations understand the technical issues particular to
20th
century buildings.
• Could HE organise/convene smaller versions of this conference on a regional
basis? They should involve other denominations and faiths, officers and
professionals, to share good practice and experience. They might best be
targeted on a specific generic/admin process or topic rather than a
professional heritage topic, which is meet by others like EASA or DAC
Secretaries.
• Please can conference papers be made available quickly as pdfs without
footnotes or dressing up – not as a form publication which is expensive and
time-consuming to produce?
5. 5
Prepared for publication April 2016 diana.evans@historicengland.org.uk
• A Royal Commission to get Government to consider funding models, raise the
profile of church building issues and ensure there is a high level debate,
particularly with regard to the role of the state. The CofE has acknowledged
that there is a problem with rural churches; other than by a Royal Commission
how will views of the mass of the public be heard in establishing a sustainable
solution?1
b. Church of England
• ‘Better training for vicars on heritage and the significance of their buildings.
There is good guidance on the ChurchCare site but more is needed,
especially for new vicars, to help them get a better understanding of QIs,
repair and maintenance.
• More consistency in process and decision-making between DACs so people
who have lived in one diocese and move to another don’t find they have to
relearn everything.
• Guidance on and promotion of the legal options for using/managing/sharing
buildings – not just model leases but Trusts, lasting partnership, ownership,
patronage – and the need to future-proof any arrangements.
• Active promotion to DACs and clergy of courses already available in the sector
such as the OUCE course Parish Churches; Significance and Use
c. Amenity Societies and wider historic sector
• Build on Faith in Maintenance

NB In his March budget the Chancellor announced a Taskforce to consider the funding and maintenance of
cathedrals and church buildings, which is also included in the Cultural White Paper 2016

Consolidated post conference responses from 35 attendees
• Being more vocal about the issues facing church communities.
• I am a church architect and the conference has helped me to assess our
approach to certain aspects of our projects.
• Decisions about C19 church interiors I make will be better informed.
• We will encourage PCCs to compile a statement of significance before any
design work be done.
• Research more into the history of the individual church and the needs of the
congregation.
• Academic purpose.
• I will use the connections I have made and knowledge of the many disparate
organisations involved in the conservation of historic churches.
• Guidance to parishes in undertaking a development project for their church
building, e.g. in relation to faculty, procedure and fundraising. Looking forward
to seeing the notes/summary from the conference. Also gave me idea for
training sessions to deliver in my diocese.
• In site discussions with parish representatives I hope it will help me assess the
relative importance/significance of the church interiors so I can understand the
implications of proposed changes and advise appropriately.
• What I learnt and the discussions I had during the breaks and mealtimes will
contribute enormously to my freelance work that I am currently doing -all to do
with sustaining historic places of worship. One of the most useful and
worthwhile, and for me very relevant, conferences i have attended.
• In advising parishes appropriately on drawing up statements of significance
and developing proposals for changes to their church buildings.
• It was helpful to have a bit more information on the organisation structure of
HE and CoE in regard to altering/listing church buildings. I can now apply this
7. 7
Prepared for publication April 2016 diana.evans@historicengland.org.uk
to my own understanding of how fittings such as stained glass windows, which
are not themselves listed, and often removed from church buildings for various
reasons, fit into the bigger picture.
• In providing advice to church volunteers regarding reordering proposals.
• In strategic approach to managing change across my area of work.
• I think it will help in considering schemes before the DAC. I still don't think I
have a clear picture of how best protect our heritage, change being the watch-
word now.
• As a reflective practitioner, there was a lot to help one to nuance one's own
approach to helping churches, and in a curious way it was Gillard's research
that offered the most useful information despite the tiny sample at its base.
• Reassessing approach to reordering interiors.
• In determining applications for faculties. In setting up a support fund for a
particular Grade 1 listed church with a regular congregation in single figures.
• The conference raised some interesting points that will be useful to my current
research; particularly regarding different views and some of the issues
surrounding these types of buildings.
• The section on the historic heating system was thought-provoking and the
lessons of the fire-damaged church in Coventry Diocese, too, though for
different reasons. Both give food for thought…
• Even more thoughtful and constructive attitude to church casework - am
already implementing with my team.
• To update quinquennial inspections to include information on the Victorian
alterations. When working on listed structures I will be more certain when
dealing with layers/provenance over centuries.
• The conference has raised my awareness of Victorian architects, interiors and
furnishings which will be of considerable help to me when developing projects
for funding church repairs and undertaking re-orderings and improvements.
• It has certainly enhanced my understanding and appreciation of C19
churches, which will alter my approach to them. It was interesting to hear the
various arguments and opinions-not only from the panel speakers but also the
many well informed audience members.
• I have discovered more, useful people to confer with and share ideas with.
6. What other events would you like to see offered by Historic England?
Follow up events
• There needs to be a follow up - maybe not a conference -maybe workshops at
local level with the diocese?

Prepared for publication April 2016 diana.evans@historicengland.org.uk
• Similar event but with focus on the challenges of post-war churches -are the
issues the same?
• Conference on the identification of Significance. The importance of engaging
and involving the public more in conservation.
• Workshop/Consultation on key issues facing places of worship. Understanding
significance of a building
• A similar theme conference, but aimed at the church i.e. archdeacons, clergy,
PCC members etc. looking at the same theme from their perspective.
• I would welcome further events concerning places of worship of this quality
and involving a similar mix of professions - perhaps looking at a technical
aspect of the care and development of the buildings in which HE has research
involvement and technical expertise (e.g. heating?).
• More like this - continue a wider engage though. Why not bring in others from
universities and other heritage bodies and museums to also speak?
• The philosophical aesthetics of architecture and the theology of place.
• Funding models for independent support groups of listed church buildings.
• Events focused on building fabric - churches or civic buildings. Also an even
focusing on Country Estates, houses, parks and recent developments -fabric,
landscape and interiors.
• We should have a similar conference focusing on non-Anglican places of
worship.
• More of the same - for example different period related interiors, Georgian,
medieval etc.;
Specific topics
• Conservation; materials and stained glass.
• Anything on local architects such as Northampton's EF Law.
• Energy efficiency and historic buildings (avoiding condensation risks).
• Consideration of impact of renewables on setting and accuracy of
visualisations provided to assess setting issues.
• Specifics on different aspects of redeveloping an historic place of worship e.g.
lighting, heating etc.
• Technical update on materials and techniques.
