Authorised Lay Ministry Programme 2006-2007

The programme offered training in seven specialist ministries – Administration; Children’s Ministry; Evangelism; Music Ministry; Pastoral Care; Worship Leading and Youth Ministry. These modules were set in a wider programme running on five Saturdays throughout the year. The current programme began on Saturday 9 September 2006

On 14 July the second successful year of the diocesan training programme for Authorised Lay Ministry came to an end. Candidates, incumbents and other members of local ministry teams met at Ely Methodist Church to reflect on their experience of the course and to think about working together in the future.

More than 60 candidates are hoping to be authorised as lay ministers in the Cathedral on Sunday 16 September. We shall welcome John Bell from the Iona Community as the preacher for that service. We look forward to sharing in this worship with representatives from the parishes and with families and friends of the candidates.

The next round of the initial training programme begins in September 2008.
