A journey into new thinking and new life
The new Programme for Ministry in the Church of Ireland was launched on April 18/19 with information meetings in Templepatrick and Dublin.
Two hundred and forty people attended the Templepatrick meeting.
Chairing the launch in the Templeton Hotel, Archbishop Alan Harper said: “There could hardly be a more exciting time than this to be a member of the Church of Ireland. This Programme for Ministry is the beginning of a journey into new thinking and new life in the Church.’
There was great excitement at both events and all seemed encouraged by these new developments. It is hoped to advertise for the new Director of the Theological Institute in early summer and the programme will commence in 2008.
Bishop Michael Jackson, Chair of the Project Ministry Team, said ‘The future shape of ministry for lay people and clergy alike is exciting for the Church of Ireland. Those of us who have been involved in the Ministry Project so far are encouraged by the widespread interest throughout the church.’
