ARC UK

ARC UK is an ecumenical Christian charity. It has had charitable status (no. 1111651) since 2006.〔http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/ShowCharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithoutPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1111651&SubsidiaryNumber=0〕 ARC UK runs projects in which young people from across Europe spend two to four weeks living together during the summer while working as volunteer welcomers and tour guides in a church.
The French acronym 'ARC' demonstrates the three key aspects of the organisation: ''accueil'' (welcome), ''rencontre'' (encounter) and ''communauté'' (community).
Participants are provided with accommodation and living expenses, in return for providing free tours in their own language to visitors of their host church. The tours are designed to draw together the historical, artistic and religious aspects of the church, thereby placing it in its spiritual context. ARC also aims to further understanding between young people of different nationalities and Christian traditions. Although participants do not need to be deeply religious or regular churchgoers, it is desirable for them to have an active interest in the sources and expressions of religious faith, particularly as displayed in the buildings of the great Christian churches of Europe.
ARC UK is a branch of the network of ARC organisations which exist in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. ARC currently facilitates over twenty projects, including St. Paul's Cathedral in London, the Duomo in Florence, Toledo Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, Westminster Abbey, Reims Cathedral, the Dom in Erfurt and the Basilica di San Marco in Venice. A number of participants are also sent each year to guide on projects run by the ARC sister organisation (CASA ) in France, which, among others, manages projects in Notre Dame Cathedral.
ARC projects can take place in:
ARC UK sends English-speaking guides to churches across Europe every summer. Applicants must be aged between 18 and 30. No previous experience or specific expertise are required as full training is provided at a yearly Training Day in London, although an interest in such fields as art, architecture, history or theology might be useful. Knowledge of a European language can be an advantage, but is not always essential.
The charity has as patron the Rt Reverend Christopher Thomas James Chessun, Bishop of Woolwich, who has said:

ARC UK in very practical ways brings communities of young people together to celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural inheritance of Europe and to engage with those who come as visitors to our great cathedrals. I am very glad to support ARC UK as Patron.〔http://www.encounterarc.org.uk/aboutnew.html〕

Applications for places on projects are made through the (ARC UK website ). The recruitment period typically begins in January and ends in March, with interviews taking place in late March and throughout April.
The charity is a growing one, with a steadily increasing number and quality of applications each year. It is actively seeking to increase the number of projects in the UK and has received much interest from several potential churches.
ARC is affiliated with the European umbrella organisation (Ars et Fides ) ('Art and Faith'), which is under the patronage of (Monsignor Timothy Verdon ), Canon of Florence Cathedral and President of the Commission for Ecumenism. In March 2009, ARC UK hosted the annual Autumn Meeting of all ARC Boards as well as the Ars et Fides Conference - an international ecumenical event that took place in Cambridge.
