Safeguarding at St Paul's JQ

At St Paul's JQ, safeguarding is very important to us.

Safeguarding is fundamentally about human wellbeing – physical, emotional, sexual and spiritual. It is at the heart of the church’s mission to promote human flourishing and life in all its fullness. It is at the heart of the gospel message because we are all God’s people loved by God. The church should be a place for the whole community which provides a safe space in which all those who are created by God with all of our human frailties and vulnerabilities are loved and welcomed.

A Prayer

امید است تا درهای سنت پولز به قدری گسترده باشد، که بتواند از همه ی کسانی که در جستجو ی خداوند و مصاحبت با او هستند، پذیرایی کند.

May the doors of St Paul’s be wide enough to receive all who come seeking God and fellowship.

امید است که درهای کلیسای ما به حدی باریک باشد،

تا بتواند مانع ورود حقارت، غرور، حسادت و خصومت شود.

May the doors of our church be narrow enough to shut out pettiness and pride, envy and enmity.

امید است که درگاه کلیسای ما، سبب لغزش و یا سست شدن پای جوانان نباشد.

May the threshold of our church be no stumbling block to young or frail feet.

امید است که آستانه ی کلیسای ما برای پذیرش خودخواهی و خود رضامندی، بسیار مرتفع باشد.

May the threshold of our church be too high to admit complacency and self-seeking.

امید است که کلیسای ما برای همه ی وارد شدگان به آن، مکانی امن و درگاهی برای غنی تر شدن زندگی در مسیح باشد. آمین.

May our church be, for all who enter, a safe place and the doorway to a richer life in Christ. Amen
