Building on my own experience of being a priest and an entrepreneur, an understanding of the entrepreneur set out by John Thompson and Bill Bolton (2004), and beginning with the social, cultural, theological and ecclesiological case constructed by the Mission-Shaped Church report (2004), and upon which its recommendation of identifying ‘mission entrepreneurs’ rests, this thesis argues that the concept of entrepreneurship offers the Church of England a helpful lens through which to view priestly ministry and an understanding of an approach to priestly ministry in the parish that is well-fitted for the current mission task in England. The thesis argues that an entrepreneurial approach to priestly ministry is consistent with Anglican self-understanding as set out in the Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal. It also argues that an entrepreneurial approach to priestly ministry is consistent both with the nature of the Trinitarian God and with human collaboration with God’s activity in the world. Research findings are based on thematic analysis of data generated through online testing and qualitative interviews with a sample of entrepreneurial priests in the Diocese of Durham. This thesis finds that entrepreneurial priests appear to adopt an entrepreneurial approach to parish-based ministry in spite of the institution of the Church of England rather than because of it. In addition, this thesis finds that when faced with challenges related to church buildings, entrepreneurial priests adopt an innovative approach that has the potential to generate social and spiritual capital. Further, this thesis finds that entrepreneurial priests instinctively work with others and that creating appropriate partnerships with outside agencies has the potential to generate significant social, cultural, spiritual and financial capital for the church and the wider community. The findings result in ten suggestions for future practice in relation to the exercise of entrepreneurship by parish priests in the Church of England. 1 An Entrepreneurial Approach to Priestly Ministry in the Parish: Insights From a Research Study in the Diocese of Durham Michael John Volland A thesis in one volume for the degree of Doctor of Theology and Ministry Department of Theology and Religion Durham University 2013 2 Table of contents Acknowledgements 7 Chapter One: Introduction 10 Mission-Shaped Church 16 Where I have been sitting has affected what I have seen 19 Chapter Two: Towards an understanding of the entrepreneur 22 A contested term 22 The trouble with a definition… 31 Origin and evolution of the term ‘entrepreneur’ 33 Entrepreneurs: Talent, Temperament, Technique 38 ‘A person’ 42 ‘Habitually’ 44 ‘Creates’ 45 ‘Innovates’ 47 ‘To build something’ 49 ‘Of recognised value’ 49 ‘Around perceived opportunities’ 50 Chapter summary 52 Chapter Three: Why entrepreneurs?

No quotation from it should be published without the author's prior written consent and information derived from it should be acknowledged. 6 Acknowledgements A research study of this size, particularly when undertaken alongside the responsibilities of a full time job and a young family, is only possible with enormous support and sacrifice. In light of this I would like to thank my wife, Rachel, and our three children, Hannah, Reuben and Tom, for their enthusiastic help and encouragement. I would also like to thank my supervisors, Dr Robert Song and the Reverend Dr Gavin Wakefield, whose wisdom and knowledge have helped to shape and hone this research study. I extend warm thanks to my parents, John and Eileen Volland, for their encouragement and support and for reading and commenting on a first draft of the thesis. My father in law, Dr James Hall is due a particular word of thanks for encouraging me to pursue a professional doctorate, for his interest in my research and for reading and commenting insightfully on various draft chapters. Dr Jamie Harding came to the rescue during a particularly confusing part of the research journey and I would like to thank him for his time and attention and for publishing by far the best book on data analysis on the market! Thanks are due to the Bishop of Jarrow, the Right Reverend Mark Bryant, and to the priests of the Diocese of Durham who took the time to participate in this research study. I began my doctoral studies while working in the Diocese of Gloucester. Embarking upon this study would not have been possible without the support of the Bishop of Gloucester, the Right Reverend Michael Perham, the Bishop of Tewkesbury, the Right Reverend John Went, and the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle, Dean of Bristol Cathedral. The bulk of the work for this thesis has been done while in a teaching post at Cranmer Hall, St. John’s College, Durham. I would like to thank my colleagues for participating in the pilot study and for shouldering some of my responsibilities during a period of study leave in the Easter Term, 2013. I extend grateful thanks to the various bodies who have provided financial support for my studies, and without whom this research simply would not have been possible. I thank the College Council and College Officers of St. John’s College, Durham for generous contributions to my tuition fees and for granting me a period of study leave in the Easter term, 2013. I would also like to thank the Diocese of Durham’s Council for Ministry for generous contributions to my tuition fees. I am grateful also for the generous financial assistance with fees 7 provided by The Foundation of St Matthias, Bristol, and Saint Luke’s College Foundation, Devon. In bringing these brief acknowledgements to an end, I express my gratitude to the Maker and Creator of all things, the Father of light and the source of all truth.

Sadly, during August, a large branch fell off in the middle of the night, victim so the experts said to the phenomenon of ’summer drop’. Much to our relief we have been assured that the tree is otherwise in good health, subject to some pruning to balance what remains. So far as I’m aware that is the only negative change in the physical aspect of the College that I need to report. Work has continued on aspects of the fabric to ensure that the original Butterfield buildings are preserved and, where appropriate, enhanced. This has included a further phase of refurbishment of the rooms in Liddon Quad and of some of the floor tiling in the Hall. The main elements of a new lighting scheme in the Chapel have also been completed and, as a result, three valuable outcomes have been achieved: the mosaics are now visible,The Light of the World is lit to much better effect and the choir is able to read the music its members so ably perform.
