  • Appointment of Clergy Office Holders a Guide To
    Appointment of clergy office holders A guide to good practice Produced in support of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009 Prepared by TSIP in 2013 for final approval by the Standing Committee of the House of Bishops and updated by RACSC in February 2015 Foreword 1. The process by which people are chosen for particular roles is one of the most important and sensitive in all institutions. The Church of England has, for many years, invested significantly in well resourced and nationally agreed arrangements for discerning the vocation of those called to ordained ministry. But, for a variety of reasons the Church of England has traditionally found it much more difficult to reflect nationally on the processes which come later, once someone is due to be considered for a parochial clergy appointment. 2. There have been a number of reasons for this reticence. The most obvious is the sheer fragmentation of responsibility for making appointments in a church with some 13,000 parishes. The Church of England is not a legal entity and is made up of many different bodies; in many ways it has more the qualities of an organism than an organization. 3. In addition, the patronage system, though much reformed over the years, has continued to make the practical operation of parochial appointments within the Church of England more complex than in many other institutions. In the appointment of incumbents, it remains the patron who has the right of initiative, though an appointment cannot proceed without the consent both of the bishop and of the two parochial representatives.

  • What Happens When the Vicar Leaves • Managing the Vacancy
    What Happens when the Vicar leaves Managing the vacancy Appointing a new priest. A Guide for Churchwardens and PCC members 1 Introduction You will be reading this most likely because your Vicar (or Rector or Priest in Charge) has either just left or has announced his or her intention to leave. This can be a daunting time for a church but it is also an opportunity: An opportunity to celebrate the strengths of the ministry of your church on which you will want to build on for the future. An opportunity to recognise where you are ready as a church to change and grow. It can therefore be also exciting as you look to future and to the new things God is going to do in you and in your church as you welcome a new Vicar to work in partnership with you in the ministry and mission of the parish. This is a time when you will be well supported by your Bishops, your Archdeacon and your Area Dean. Each have different roles to play but each will want you to know that they are there to work with you so that the vacancy is a positive experience and that together we make a really good appointment for your next parish priest. This leaflet sets out all you should need to know about the managing the vacancy and the appointment process but there are bound to be times when you will have other questions to raise. Your key points of contact are The Archdeacons The Venerable Jackie Searle The Venerable Phil Andrew Archdeacon of Gloucester Archdeacon of Cheltenham 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR 01452 835555 01452 835594 [email protected] [email protected] Your Area Dean who is: Please do not hesitate to contact us – we are there to help.

  • The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek
    The Rt Revd Rachel Treweek Our ref: DB/11/19 Bishop of Gloucester The Bishops’ Office November 2019 2 College Green, Gloucester, GL1 2LR [email protected] Tel: 01452 835511 Dear Candidate Priest in Charge of the ‘Northleach Benefice’ Thank you for making enquiries about this vacancy – I hope you find the enclosed documents helpful in considering your application. There is much to celebrate and much potential in these rural parishes, set in a popular and attractive part of the Cotswolds. The benefice is generally in good heart with some solid foundations to build upon, not least in the two church schools. The congregations are committed and supportive, whilst also being very aware of the significant challenges of rural ministry in a large multi-parish benefice. The parishes are looking for someone who will enjoy and immerse themselves in village life, supporting the worshipping communities in their mission throughout the week. As well as being deeply rooted in their own village settings, there is a growing recognition within the parishes of the need to act collaboratively across the benefice and I am encouraged by the emphasis in the profile on growing in cohesion and unity. The next Priest in Charge will have my support – and that of the Diocesan support team – in rising to this challenge as we seek to live out our LIFE vision which includes the commitment to ‘pilot liberating models of leadership and ministry, especially in multi- parish benefices’. The successful candidate will be supported by an enthusiastic ministry team which includes an active retired bishop, the Rt Revd David Jennings who lives in Northleach and has, at my invitation, been supporting the benefice through the vacancy.

  • Suspension-Of-Presentation
    Suspension of the right of presentation Introduction In the Church of England, priests are appointed to a benefice. This is the basic unit of ministry and may be a parish or a grouping of parishes. In previous centuries, each parish or group of parishes had a Patron who appointed and paid for a priest. Patrons retain the legal right of presenting a priest to the Bishop for appointment. Each benefice has a Patron or Patrons. A Patron (who may be an individual or a body such as a university college) owns the right to present a priest to a vacant benefice. There are several variations of Patronage including sole Patronage (one person or body), joint, patronage by turns and special patronage boards. The priest appointed to serve in a benefice may be either an incumbent or a priest in charge. Where the Patron’s right of presentation to a benefice is ‘suspended’, a priest in charge is appointed. Where the benefice is not ‘suspended’, an incumbent (either a vicar or a rector) is appointed. What happens in a vacancy? When an incumbent (vicar or rector) leaves, it is important for everyone involved to think carefully about the future. If a new priest is to be appointed on a basis which is essentially ‘like for like’, the PCC(s) compile a parish profile and appoint parish representatives. The Patron(s) consult with the parish representatives and then ‘present’ a candidate to the Bishop who would then appoint that person as incumbent: or if the Bishop is Patron s/he will make the appointment directly.

  • Curacy Framework and Post Ordination Training (POT / IME2)
    Curacy Framework and Post Ordination Training (POT / IME2) Information for curates and training incumbents Post Ordination Training (POT) or Initial Ministerial Education (IME2) The terms are used interchangeably, as most dioceses now refer to the period of training following ordination as IME2. However, the term ‘Post Ordination Training (POT)’ continues to be used in London Diocese for philosophical reasons. When the change to ‘Initial Ministerial Education’ was made nationally, it was noted that there was actually a shift of focus from Education to Training when moving into curacy, the whole being seen in the context of life-long formation. It was decided at the time, therefore, to stay with the traditional terminology locally, whilst acknowledging the wider context.
