Description

We are two benefices of rural churches centred around the thriving market town of Halesworth in beautiful NE Suffolk. We have one shared vision: to be “Church in Community and Community in Church”. Will you come and play your part in helping us to realise our vision?

We Are Praying For a Priest Who

Will lead our mission of community engagement
Values our gently liberal, inclusive catholic tradition focused around the Eucharist
Is a team player, encouraging, enabling and resourcing people to use their skills and ideas
Has a pastoral, prayerful heart, nurturing and caring for all people and our environment

There is an active lay and ordained ministry team, supportive PCCs and a good four-bedroom house. This is a full time stipendiary post. Expenses are paid in full.

For an informal conversation please email Archdeacon Rich Henderson or call 01473 252829 | 07710 479497
