Newcastle Diocese of the Church of England set up a Tourism Task Group in 2006 to encourage and enable parishes to offer a ministry of welcome to visitors. Chaired by the Dean of Newcastle, the Very Revd Christopher Dalliston, its concern has been to enable the experience of visitors to be enhanced through a greater awareness of the Christian Heritage of the North East.
This includes sharing ideas and experience in managing the visitor experience with sensitivity, developing spiritual resources, creating a greater awareness among regional bodies of the opportunities historic churches represent, and encouraging the development of new facilities.
