Thriving not Surviving
Have your say and help to shape our benefice for the future

When I wrote last month, I noted that providing people applied interviews for the
post of Associate Priest were scheduled to take place on June 11 . I am therefore
th
delighted to tell you that people did apply, interviews were held and a new
Associate Priest has been appointed for our benefice. This is very good news and
we look forward with hope and anticipation to the future as we move on
together. However, and I know this will be a little frustrating, at this point of writing I
cannot give you any further information about our new Associate Priest as the
notification of the appointment has to be made in all of the churches, their own
and ours, at the same time; as yet we don’t have the go ahead for this. All will be
revealed in the weeks to come!

It is interesting and reassuring to note that our benefice Profile, drawn up with the
appointment of our Associate Priest in mind, is being held up as a model of good
practice in the diocese for how things should work in multi-parish benefices.
