New incumbents
CPAS has for many years supported clergy moving into first posts of responsibility, either from curacies to incumbencies or from sector ministries to parochial posts. The CPAS Buck Stops Here conference is a great opportunity for those moving into these new areas of ministry. Some PCCs or dioceses see this conference as part of in-service training (CME) towards which they might contribute financially.
The Buck Stops Here offers:
- an opportunity to discuss key issues
- input and advice from experienced ministers - topics include leadership, vision and goal setting, managing change and time, developing evangelism and teaching, communication, vicarage life and pastoral care
- time for prayer, reflection and personal space
- time to share and minister to one another.
There will be three conferences in 2009, as follows:
- Date: 13-14 May 2009
