    Camel Side Cluster of Churches. Profile 2017 North Cornwall River Camel at Shell Woods The Venerable Audrey Elkington. Archdeacon of Bodmin The Camel Side Cluster of the two benefices of ‘Blisland with Temple, St Breward and Helland’ and ‘St Tudy with St Mabyn and Michaelstow’. Our vision for the Diocese of Truro is to “Discover God’s Kingdom, Grow the Church. To help to achieve this vision, we have been focussing on three strategic areas since 2013; Discipleship, Ministry and Mission. More recently, our development plan “Confidence in the Gospel” has given us specific aims and priorities for the years 2016-2018, relating to Praying, Growing, Leading and Supporting. (www.trurodiocese.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Diocesan-Development-Plan-May- 2016.pdf) It will be in this context which the new appointee will serve - supported by our ‘Never Alone’ policy, the continuation of ‘Accompanied Ministry Development’, and our desire to root and ground all that we do in prayer. Bishop Tim’s move to become the Bishop at Lambeth in August 2017, results in a time of transition for the Diocese. We are committed to continuing our mission and priorities during this period, and look forward to all that a new Diocesan Bishop will bring to our working together. The deanery of Trigg Minor and Bodmin is located in the archdeaconry of Bodmin. Six clusters of parishes are situated between the north and south coasts; centred around Bodmin town, and with the smaller towns of Wadebridge, Camelford and Lostwithiel to either side. The ‘Camel Side Cluster’ is currently an informal arrangement of two small benefices on the western edge of Bodmin Moor (Blisland with Temple, St Breward and Helland; and St Tudy with St Mabyn and Michaelstow).
