Notes
‘ Children of other Christian denominations ’ means children who belong to other churches and ecclesial communities which , acknowledging God ’ s revelation in Christ , confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures , and , in obedience to God ’ s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit commit themselves : to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in the Church , which is his body ; and to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and service in the world to the glory of the one God , Father , Son and Holy Spirit . An ecclesial community which on principle has no credal statements in its tradition , is included if it manifests faith in Christ as witnessed to in the Scriptures and is committed to working in the spirit of the above .
All members of Churches Together in England and of CYTÛN are deemed to be included in the above definition , as are all other churches and ecclesial communities that are in membership of any local Churches Together Group ( by whatever title ) on the above basis .
‘ Children of other faiths ’ means children who are members of a religious community that does not fall within the definition of ‘ other Christian denominations ’ and which falls within the definition of a religion for the purposes of charity law . The Charities Act 2011 defines religion to include :
• A religion which involves belief in more than one God , and
• A religion which does not involve belief in a God .
Case law has identified certain characteristics which describe the meaning of religion for the purposes of charity law , which are characterised by a belief in a supreme being and an expression of belief in that supreme being through worship .
A special guardianship order is defined by s . 14A of the Children Act 1989 as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a child ’ s special guardian ( or special guardians ). A child is regarded as having been in state care in a place outside of England if they were accommodated by a public authority , a religious organisation or any other provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society .
