In the past year we have seen changes that would normally take twenty or thirty years in the way we undertake our mission and ministry. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Across the church conversations are underway as to the what will the church look like in the 2020s post the covid-19 crisis, and what resources will we have given the financial pressures we are experiencing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we emerge from the pandemic, we will rely even more on an army of over 100,000 lay people involved in supporting our clergy in publicly recognised ministry and roles, as well as the tens of thousands more who are active in serving their communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Carrie Myers, the Lay Ministries Officer for the Church of England will lead this Deanery Briefing to explore how we in Deanery Leadership and similar roles can take a lead in developing and influencing this vision, enabling lay ministries to abound and flourish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
