Open Synod Meeting – “Your Vocation?”

For many parishioners, the word “vocation” in a Church context conjures up an image of the vicar or Licensed Lay Minister. How that person came to be in that role is not always obvious. The connection between the average person and the possibility of local ministry may not be clear. In our diocese we are increasingly seeing people exploring a call to local ministry through discipleship training. It is as if their vocation emerges in the process of education in matters of Christian faith.
Revd Dr Steve Summers is the Principal of the Local Ministry Programme and will spend a few moments outlining what the diocese offers through the Local Ministry Programme, for lay and ordained candidates, and the opportunities that are available for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of Christian discipleship.
All are welcome to join in this meeting in the new Parish Room at Holy Trinity, Lyne. It promises a very interesting topic that could challenge many on varying levels… Details see Event Schedule 13th March.
