Welcome to St Paul's Church - a vibrant church at the heart of Cambridge
Imogen, our Vicar, writes:
I look forward to welcoming you to St Paul's - a worshipping community and busy community centre at the heart of Cambridge. We are a community that travels with questions: there are no easy answers in life and we live in complex and challenging times. Faith is not an easy win either, but it has the potential, if engaged with seriously, to be liberating. Faith in God offers a pathway that provides signposts, wells and springs, not fixed answers and certainty, but waymarkers and sustenance for the journey.
Most of all, being part of a faith community, means just that, belonging to a community. Having a place where you can be yourself, a place to call 'home' is a true blessing. We pray that you'll find a home here. To that end we seek to be a church which is generous and hospitable enough to encourage and welcome diversity. We have an active inclusive church group who work with me to try and make church an accessible and safe place for all.

Safeguarding Matters
You may have seen the news around some serious safeguarding matters in the Church of England,
and the decision that the Archbishop of Canterbury
has made to resign due to the failures that have been identified in the Makin
Report. In the forefront of our minds are the survivors of church abuse and we lament
the ways in which they have been abused, and then often re-traumatised by a
very poor response from those in senior positions in the church. As a parish church
we take our safeguarding responsibility very seriously and endeavour to make
our churches safe spaces for all.Safe Spaces
Safe Spaces is a free and independent support service for anyone who has experienced abuse in relation to the Church of England, the Church in Wales, or the Catholic Church of England and Wales. This could be abuse by someone who holds any role in the church or is linked to participating in a church-led activity or group. If you have been affected, however long ago, Safe Spaces can provide you with support. You do not have need to have told the police or the church authorities, and you do not have to still be involved with the church. Your information will not be shared without your consent, unless you or someone else is in immediate danger. Safe Spaces can provide a range of help, including advocating with authorities and other agencies, giving emotional support, providing information (including information on church and police procedures), understanding your needs and working together on individual support plans. Tel: 0300 303 1056 (answerphone available outside of opening times) safespaces@victimsupport.org.uk. LiveChat - via the Safe Spaces website - https://www.safespacesenglandandwales.org.uk/
