Ministry Bursary Awards now open
Running for over 30 years, the MBAs are open to all members of clergy from Anglican Christian faiths, and provide financial support for sabbatical breaks and projects planned for 2023.
The purpose of a sabbatical is to make space for soulful rest and refreshment. Licensed clergy and Licensed Lay Ministers in the diocese are encouraged to take a three-month sabbatical for every ten years of ministry.
