Statement of Sheffield Cathedral and Occupy Sheffield following a meeting held on Monday 28th November 2011:

Representatives of Occupy Sheffield and clergy from the city centre churches, including the Cathedral and the Bishop of Sheffield, Dr Steven Croft, held a positive and mutually respectful meeting at the Central United Reformed Church.

The Occupy Sheffield representatives were invited to share with the group their reasons for the camp; these centred on their concerns and anger about the increasing inequality between those who have and those who have not across the world.

There followed a very constructive discussion during which the church representatives affirmed their understanding of many of the issues raised by the Occupy movement, and their commitment to continue keeping channels of communication open.
