IMPACT
REPORT
THE SOUTHWARK BLESSING
One of the Education Commission’s most notable
successes of 2020 was the production of the now
famous ‘Southwark Blessing’. Working with schools
individually and the power of technology, our friend
and music advisor Natalie Christian John, assembled
an exceptionally diverse range of singers from
across the Diocese to put
together this emotionally
challenging and profound
piece of choral worship.
The video has become a
centre piece of Diocesan
events and is used to
show our commitment
to equality, diversity
and inclusion. We are
very proud of all the
singers who took part,
a small proportion of
whom can be seen in
the image here.
