This Saturday 27th September, the following 5 people will be admitted to the office of Licensed Lay Minister having successfully completed their two years of training at Sarum College. Everyone is invited to join the service at Salisbury Cathedral at 11:00.
They are:
Mark Harris, to be licensed to the parish of St Brelade with St Aubin on the Hill, Jersey
Helen Pickett, to be licensed to the benefice of Trowbridge St James and Keevil
Jim Robinson, to be licensed to the Melbury Team Ministry
Louise Seddon, to be licensed to the benefice of Marlborough
Alex Fryatt, to be licensed at a future date within the Diocese of Europe.
Bishop Karen writes, ‘We rejoice with those who are to be licensed and admitted as LLMs this year. As enablers of mission, teachers of faith and leaders in church and society, they have a key role in making Jesus known as part of the mission of the local church. LLMs are important members of the local ministry team and a key part of our diocesan vision, forming partnerships in local mission through their connections with work, community, school and church.’
