Clergy Conferences, Consultations & Workshops

Clergy conferences, consultations & workshops were incorporated into the founding vision of the House. These ecumenical gatherings then provided some of the first in-service clergy education in England.

Today, they continue to seek to encourage those who are appointed to an ordained ministry of spiritual leadership in church and society to reappraise, in the company of their peers, the theological basis for Christian social action, church life and the ongoing formation of ordained ministry. Theological reflection is conducted in the framework of challenging contributions made by visiting presenters who themselves exercise leadership roles in secular society and can include people of other than Christian religious background. The programmes are intended to challenge, stimulate and encourage ministers in their service of the church so that the church may better serve the world God seeks to redeem.

The Clergy Course Directing Staff are Canon John White, the Director of Clergy Events, The Right Reverend David Conner, Canon Dr Hueston Finlay, Andrew Carter and Dr Martin Gaskell.

The next Clergy Conferences will be held on 7-17 July 2008, 5-15 October 2009 and 4-14 October 2010 and will be led by the Revd Canon Dr Hueston Finlay.

The House runs clergy conferences over an extended period of time and also runs clergy workshops and consultations over shorter periods. The workshops and consultations are under the direction of the Revd Canon John White. Details of such courses will be posted here in the Clergy Events section of our website as appropriate.

“I cannot recommend the course I attended too highly! It was a great opportunity to be stretched intellectually, theologically and spiritually. The standard of speakers, discussions and visits were excellent. I returned stimulated and better informed.”
