Moving to the Diocese of Salisbury as an LLM

Welcome! We are glad to have you here, and hope you will want to exercise your ministry. Once you have found a local church which feels like the place God is calling you to, and had a conversation with your incumbent, please contact the LLM Administrator to obtain the necessary forms for transferring your licence or permission to officiate. It is usual to worship somewhere for at least six months before making the formal application.

More details about the process are available here.


Continuing Ministerial Development

We encourage all LLMs to take their continuing development seriously, and to attend such training events and courses as will enrich their ministry and wellbeing. Most of the events in the CMD mailing (Continuing Ministerial Development) are open to lay ministers as well as clergy, and you will find there information on Retreats, Quiet Days, Events, Courses and Spiritual Accompaniment.
