The Diocese recognises the importance of ensuring clergy receive the training they need, along with support for their own wellbeing so that they can continue with their ministry in the long-term.
As part of the grant funding from the Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board, funding has been made available to enable clergy to take time away from the parish for rest and refreshment through a series of retreats and sabbaticals.
On-going training and education for clergy is available through the annual clergy study mornings and via Emmanuel Theological College. Grants towards education are available to support clergy in being able to take up these opportunities.
Further information in relation to the package of training and support available to clergy can be found here.
