Update:

The Brand Guidelines and several versions of the Diocesan logo have now been added to the Communications section of the Diocesan website:

http://www.leicester.anglican.org/diocesan-info/subsite/communications.aspx

———————————————————————————–

Over the coming weeks and months you will begin to see a new image across the diocese. This is because over past year a process of re-branding has been taking place, in order to develop greater visual cohesion between different parts of the work of the Diocese.

The new image was inspired by the statue of The Welcoming Christ at Launde Abbey. The figure speaks of openness, strength, generosity, life and humanity. This is combined with the symbol for the Church of England, which reminds us of resurrection, community, tradition, belonging and inclusivity.

If you click here you will be able to see the new images which will be used by the Diocese, the Cathedral, the Bishop, Launde Abbey and St Martin’s House.

Logos for use on websites, magazines and stationery and professional printers will be available soon on the Diocesan website, so please look out for updates.

We have taken the decision to phase in the use of this logo so as to not be wasteful in our use of resources so, if you currently used the Diocesan Logo on headed paper or notices boards etc, we are very happy to advise about the change as it becomes necessary, such as when paper runs out!

Guidelines for use have been written to ensure the logo is used correctly and the brand image is preserved. These too will be available online soon so please read these carefully when using the new identity.

If you have any questions about anything relating to the new brand please contact either of the Communications team:  liz.hudson-oliff@leccofe.org or keith.cousins@leccofe.org

13th JUNE 2010.
Churches throughout the world are being invited to mark MUSIC SUNDAY; a celebration of music in worship, by organising an event or incorporating appropriate readings, music and prayers into their regular or a special service. The Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) has designated Sunday 13th June as Music Sunday, which also provides an opportunity to pay tribute to the work and commitment of church musicians, combined with a fund-raising initiative on a 50:50 basis split between the participating church and the RSCM.
Information, ideas, and downloadable resources, and templates can be found on the website at www.rscm.com/musicsunday, along with suggestions for music, special readings, and prayers.

The Diocese of Leicester’s food redistribution project “FareShare Leicester”, which operates one day a week from St Paul’s Worship Centre, Kirby Road was featured in the Channel 4 ‘Secret Millionaire’ programme on Monday night.

Jahan Abedi gave support to FareShare Community Food Member ‘CASP’ – Northfields Advice Centre, The Fresh Start Project, a joint Refugee Action and Diocese of Leicester initiative, and LOROS.

Leicester is seen to be a caring, compassionate and supportive city something that we should be proud of.

The programme is still available on the Channel 4 website
