Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC)

The Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) is a group of formal members and consultants all of whom volunteer their time and professional knowledge to assist parishes in looking after and appreciating their church buildings. From stained glass and sustainability to landscape and liturgy, every aspect is covered and details of all our current members are available in the membership list. The committee meets roughly every 6 weeks to consider faculty applications and informal proposals, and members regularly attend site visits throughout the diocese.

The committee is assisted by Natalie Fenner – Churches Officer and DAC Secretary (working days Wed – Fri, Natalie is currently on maternity leave), Adam Klups – Churches Officer (Acting DAC Secretary during Natalie’s maternity leave), Ian Serjeant – Churches Officer (working days Tue – Wed), and Chloe Hartley – Administrator. A calendar of meeting dates and corresponding deadlines is available to download below, along with the DAC’s constitution and a more thorough introduction to the committee’s work. The work of the DAC is summarised annually in our Building Faith publication, and back copies are available below.
