REVIEW OF MINISTRY

Review of ministry provides an opportunity for ministers to reflect on their ministry in order –

• to strengthen mission and ministry
• to offer an expression of pastoral care
• to identify areas for development.

It works on a two-year cycle; in one year the review is with the Bishop or a member of his Senior Staff; in the other year with a member of a specialist panel. In each case the review is on a one-to-one basis. The members of the specialist panel, who are appointed by the Bishop, bring to the review process particular skills – for example, counselling, personnel, academic or spiritual direction.

Stipendiary clergy and other licensed ministers, other than those clergy serving their Titles, take part in the review programme.
