The Church of England's Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns (CMEAC) - formed to review measures to combat racial prejudice and disadvantage - is currently paying a visit to the Diocese of York.
Its visit to the York Diocese is part of a programme of visits to all 42 Dioceses in the Church of England, to be briefed on local responses to the church's two major reports on racial discrimination, Seeds of Hope and A Passing Winter.
The York Diocesan Synod discussed the reports in 1993 and 1999 respectively, visited on both occasions by the Bishop of Stepney, the Right Rev Dr John Sentamu.
Committee members will meet the Dean and Chapter of York Minster, the Bishops of Selby, Hull and Whitby, groups of clergy from York, Hull and Middlesbrough, pupils and staff of York's Manor Church of England Secondary School, and representatives of the police and Prison Service. Their visit will end tomorrow with supper hosted by the Archbishop of York, Dr David Hope, at Bishopthorpe Palace, and a meeting with the Archbishop's Council of the York Diocese.
