A LEADING theologian is coming to Worcester next month to encourage local churches to get involved in projects to support and help children in care.
Dr Krish Kandiah, the founder of adoption charity Home for Good, will be speaking at a service at St Paul's Church on St Paul's Street in the city centre on Sunday, March 1.
Dr Kandiah said: “Every day more than 50 children are taken into care in the UK. They are removed from chaotic, traumatic, abusive, neglectful or desperate situations. Some of them need a home in an emergency. Some of them need a temporary home until they can return to their families. Some of them need an occasional home to give their families a break. Some of them need a permanent home with a new forever family.
“The Church is uniquely placed to offer its help to meet this need — both in terms of finding families to foster or adopt and providing an excellent community of support to wrap around those who do.”
The service takes place at 6.30pm.
