Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns

Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns is committed through its network of Diocesan Link Partners to raise the profile of minority ethnic Anglicans in parishes, dioceses and local communities

It is also committed to seeking the development and empowerment of minority ethnic Anglicans and, in particular, fostering and encouraging vocations within the Church

There is an occasional paper ‘The Link’ which is available at http://www.cofe.anglican.org/info/cmeac/thelink/

Vocations are often seen to be to the ordained ministry; but the profile of Minority Ethnic Anglicans needs to be raised in the life of the Church.

CMEAC ConferenceAre there any in your Church who could be:

  • members of the PCC
  • members of the Deanery or Diocesan Synods
  • members of General Synod?

May be that person is you!

CMEAC VOCATIONS DAY CONFERENCE 2010

Thinking about serving God?

It’s as easy as A B C!

Are you considering lay or ordained ministry?
Each of us is called to ministry, serving God in different ways. Understanding how we can develop our personal gifts can be a confusing process! Designed particularly for those who are 17 – 35, the CMEAC Vocations Conference is your opportunity to explore specific ways of developing your ministry with a diverse, supportive, like-minded group of enthusiastic people. Advice and guidance will be provided by clergy and Ministry Division representatives, who are leaders in supporting minority ethnic vocations.

Be challenged, encouraged and strengthened.
Throughout the day, presentations and discussions will be led by minority ethnic people, some of whom have recently completed their training for ministry. You will hear about opportunities to lead and serve in the Church in a wide variety of ways, and be given a taster of life as a parish priest.


Come and see what you can achieve.
Delegates will learn, reflect and worship together, drawing strength for the journey from one another. If you have a desire to explore your vocation to lay or ordained ministry, the CMEAC Conference is a great way to start. Each of our unique gifts builds up our multi-ethnic Church.
