Starting with safe places

Rt Rev Jonathan Gledhill, The Bishop of Lichfield highlights the need for providing safe space for children here. I agree - I think most of public would agree too. But what if it stops there?

If it stops there - they'll not hear about how they can know

the God made them and this amazing world,
God is big enough and strong enough to handle anything that they have to face,
God wants them to be his best friend.

And they'll not be familiar with formative stories. like this report suggests.

So let's make safe spaces, but also pass on the opportunity of the priceless offer of a relationship with God.

Is the church ready for this ?

The Guardian reported more schools closing now

Government is weighing up closing schools in the fall when an epidemic could come when the flu season begins.


I know in Toronto after the SARS scare some churches responded by developing Emergency Response Plans in case there is a similar crisis. (Anglicans in Toronto) What could churches do here ? What could Children and Youth Pastors/workers do ?
