A National Care Covenant for England

Christians on Ageing is delighted to welcome the publication on 24 January 2023 of a visionary report by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York entitled Care and Support Reimagined: A National Care Covenant for England, which calls for a radical redesign of the social care system based on Christian principles. We wish the Archbishops and the experts who advised them every success in facilitating discussions about their proposals both in churches and in the wider community.

There are some things which just have to be said. We have to speak out because at the heart of the Christian message is our belief that God is not silent. God has spoken through creation itself and the evolving universe; through the human story; through the dwelling of Jesus Christ in time; through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in each believer; through the inspiration of the scriptures; and through the wisdom and the teaching of the Church through the ages.

We use words all the time. Words of welcome. Words of wisdom. Words of warmth. Words of warning. Words of wistfulness. Our words are wasted if words are just words. In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. Through him all things came to be, not one thing had its being but through him. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Word made things happen.

As Christians, as followers of the Word, we do something about what we have heard. Our own best words are our actions.
