Inclusive Church has a network of voluntary Regional Ambassadors around the country. These ambassadors act as a point of contact between a region and Inclusive Church.
As the number of churches in ICN has grown so much in the last few years, we are actively looking to increase the number of RAs. We have some particular gaps in the East/East Midlands and it would be good to have some more non-Anglican RAs. If you are interested in exploring this with us, we would love to hear from you. The role can be adapted to suit the individuals involved, we are very open to thinking creatively! The role is described further below in a downloadable pdf. There is also a simple application form you can download and fill in.
There is no set deadline or date for RA applications, we respond as they come in. Please get in touch if you would like to be an ambassador for a region which does not currently have one or which only has one or two (you can work together). If your region has ambassadors already, you can also contact them using the email addresses below.

If you want to contact IC about a particular ambassador, or if an email address doesn’t work, please email the National Coordinator on natco@inclusive-church.org
In order to reflect our commitment to working ecumenically, the IC regions are defined by postal regions and counties rather than by church groupings like dioceses, districts and synods. Click on the regions below for more info.
