It is therefore our collective responsibility to implement a more effective Safe Church Policy. I am aware that the people of our diocese have&nbsp;high expectations&nbsp;on this matter. For that reason, Diocesan Council has commissioned a&nbsp;<em>Safe Church Review Committee<\/em>&nbsp;to conduct a thorough review of our policies and write a new, permanent policy which will be aligned with best practice, both in its process and in its care for those who have been harmed. To do&nbsp;that work&nbsp;well, however, will take time, but it is important to safeguard our communities now. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is with this in mind that the Chancellor, the Vicar General, and I have worked to develop an&nbsp;interim&nbsp;<em>Safe Church Policy<\/em>&nbsp;which is clear, simple to use, and will ensure that any complaints are addressed in a fair and impartial manner, and that both complainants and accused parties receive appropriate pastoral and spiritual support during the resolution of any issues raised. That interim policy was unanimously adopted by Diocesan Council at its meeting in January for immediate implementation. &nbsp;You can find it on our website at: &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.montreal.anglican.ca\/safe-church\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.montreal.anglican.ca\/safe-church<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Any complaints which arise need to be brought to the attention of the Ombudsperson, whose contact details are available on our website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are open for in-person gatherings; Sundays at; 10:00AM95, avenue Lorne, Saint-Lambert,\u00a0QC\u00a0 J4P 2G7 Announcements\u2026 Nuestro servicio de ingl\u00e9s con franc\u00e9s comienza cada domingo por la ma\u00f1ana a las 10:00&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2749,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/fullwidth.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":284,"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4600,"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7\/revisions\/4600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/st-barnabaschurch.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
