In the age we live in, people are concerned about their privacy. In January 2026 the Parish Council passed Policy E1 – Privacy, which reflects practices we have been following for a number of years to manage parishioner’s information and images. An important element of this policy is seeking permission to post photographic images of individuals on our website, our Facebook page, and external publications. Canon Ed will be reaching out to individuals for whom a signed Authorization to Release Photographic Image form is needed. Please have a look at it; Policy E1 – Privacy is posted on www.ststephenanglican.com under ‘Governance’. If you have any questions about the policy, please contact Canon Ed or one of the Church Wardens.
