Webinars
We’re hosting a series of monthly online webinars for our clergy and licensed lay ministers. These are designed to be intensely practical, snappy, one-hour sessions, which will allow our ministers to improve their skills and enhance their wellbeing. It’s part of our diocese’s Continuing Ministerial Development for clergy and lay ministers, and also part of the REVIVE element of our diocesan strategy.
The webinars are being organised by the Rev Neil Smart, our Lead for Revive, and will include input from diocesan staff, as well as external bodies who have practical skills to impart. The sessions will generally be held on Microsoft Teams, and are likely to involve around 40 minutes of input and then the chance to ask questions.
