Christ Church, Oxford and the Bishop of Oxford as joint patrons wish to appoint a 0.75 (four days plus Sunday) stipendiary vicar:
We are the two parishes of St Peter’s and St Mary Magdalene, located in the beautiful villages of Wootton and Shippon respectively, only a few miles from the centre of Oxford.
We are praying for a vicar who will:
• reach out and play an active part in our two communities;
• develop our work with young people;
• nurture the spiritual growth of the congregation and support those in need;
• adopt a collaborative leadership style
We offer a four bedroomed vicarage situated in the attractive village of Wootton, which has a good primary school, many shops and amenities just a few miles outside of the centre of Oxford. Our two active and enthusiastic congregations work effectively at the heart of their communities.
For an informal discussion, please contact the Archdeacon of Dorchester, the Venerable David Tyler on 07961 726403 or email him at archdeacon.dorchester@oxford.anglican.org.
Further information can be found in the benefice Profile, and to apply, please visit the Church of England Pathways website.
