The Dorchester Team are praying for a new colleague to join us as we minister in beautiful South Oxfordshire.
In a season of rebuilding we seek a priest who will relish both the challenges and the opportunities of the Dorchester Team, working with us prayerfully and creatively as we re-imagine our future as churches and as a Team.
We are praying for a priest who is:
• A person of lively and infectious faith and prayer – who loves God and people.
• A team player who enjoys working collaboratively.
• A pastor – able to care for people of all ages and backgrounds.
• Someone with a heart for mission and the kingdom, with the capacity to engage well with existing congregations and new missional opportunities.
• Someone who is at ease working across a breadth of traditions and contexts.
We can offer:
• A lively and mutually supportive ministry team.
• Welcoming local congregations, ready to be loved and nurtured – along with opportunities for ministry in schools and communities.
• A comfortable house.
• Central administrative support from our office at Dorchester Abbey.
For an informal discussion, please contact the Team Rector, Revd Jane Willis (01865 294276 / rector@dorchesterabbey.org.uk) or Archdeacon David Tyler (07961 726403 / archdeacon.dorchester@oxford.anglican.org).
