All licensed ministers in the diocese, lay and ordained, are provided with the opportunity for regular review of their performance in ministry, the direction in which it might be developed and the support or training necessary for that.
Readers and their parish incumbents undertake such a review every three years, as a single process across the diocese, prior to the renewal of Reader licences by the Bishop. The review will focus on the Readers contribution to ministry in the parish and the support offered to the incumbent or ministry team. While providing a valuable opportunity for professional critique of ministry, it is to be undertaken in a spirit of mutual respect and desire to enhance the work of the parishs ministry team.
Notes
The review should be undertaken, within the timescale noted below for all readers in active ministry (both licensed and with permissions to officiate). In interregna, the review should be carried out by the Rural Dean, Churchwarden, or Deanery Sub-Warden.
(If for any reason the review cannot be carried out, please contact the Head of Mission & Discipleship, the Revd Canon David Isaac)
The Ministry Agreement drawn up prior to licensing for Reader ministry in the parish will serve as the Job Description for purposes of review and may be amended in the course of the review. An up-to-date copy must be returned with the completed review form to the Head of Mission & Discipleship.
Process
Review forms will be sent to Readers for handing on to their Incumbents.
