The Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy, endorsed the leaflet along with Archdeacons and members of the team.
Each clergy family in Connor has received a copy of the leaflet in the post, giving them information about the kind of support available to clergy and their spouses in the diocese. For further information please contact:
Connor Diocesan Communications Officer
Laurie Randall of the Pastoral Support Team said: “We are keen to remind clergy that we are available to meet with them, on a confidential basis, to talk through the challenges faced within their ministry.
“We hope to encourage good habits amongst clergy that help to maintain health and foster continued professional development. We recognise that ministry can be a tough and lonely experience on occasions and it is important that we care for the carers.”
The team hopes that members of the clergy and their spouses will feel free to get in touch to arrange a chat as needed. Contact details are on the Connor diocesan website at www.connor.anglican.org. Team members are Laurie Randall, Canon Raymond Fox and the Rev Carol Harvey.
