Listen "David Hermitt: "Racism in the Church of England is a little more subtle""
Episode Synopsis
As a former CEO of a local Multi-Academy Trust and Chair of the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel, David is a well-known figure in the Diocese of Chester, and stood for election to Diocesan Synod in February, but narrowly missed out.
Due to this "near miss" David was invited to serve on the House of Laity of General Synod, in response to the Archbishops' anti-racism report, From Lament to Action, which calls for greater representation of people from Global Ethnic backgrounds.
Here he reflects on his time at General Synod and explains why he's having to stand down as Chair of the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisory Panel.
