Continuing Ministerial Development

All in ministry are expected to take part in life-long learning and development. The Diocese of Ely contributes to this process in the following ways:

Reflective Practice Supervision

Extra Training

  • Review of ministry: to help discern development needs of ministers.
  • Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMs) and others can also benefit from extra training. Some events for LLMs in training are offered to a wider audience.
  • Other training may come from the Cental Reader's Council or from outside bodies such as the College of Preachers.
  • Invitations to these are usually sent through the Mission and Ministry team.

Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD)

  • Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD) Funding: There is a grant available of up to £240, per year, on application for stipendiary clergy. Grants may be available for other Licensed Ordained Ministry.

    • incumbency skills
    • new post conference change management
    • preparation for retirement
    • Rural Deans Theological Refreshment for Ministry.
