We’re looking for a Priest in Charge. Is it you?
A new partnership of five churches near Canterbury is moving enthusiastically towards becoming a single benefice. We are seeking a priest to lead us, encourage us, guide us and pray with us. Our ministry teams need help in their development of God’s work in our growing community. Please help us as we grow the role of the laity in our churches and reshape our worship, evangelism and pastoral care. We are still learning but we understand and accept the challenge facing the rural church and us locally.
Initially the post would be 0.8 of full-time (with vicarage), as Priest in Charge of the Littlebourne Benefice and also licensed as an assistant curate in the Canonry Benefice with responsibility for the parish of Wingham. The aim is to bring all the churches into a single benefice in the near future. Our five churches are
- St Vincent, Littlebourne,
- St John the Evangelist, Ickham,
- St Mary, Stodmarch
- St Andrew,Wickhambreaux and
- St Mary the Virgin, Wingham
For an informal conversation regarding this please contact the Archdeacon of Canterbury via her PA, Ms Jo Manser - 01227 865238 adcpa@canterbury-cathedral.org
