Supporting healing ministry across the diocese
Diocesan Healing Advisory GroupThe Healing Advisory Group is a voluntary group within the diocese that aims to support and inspire both lay and clergy within our parishes in Christ’s work of wholeness and healing for individuals, churches and communities. It seeks to provide a prophetic voice that speaks to both the wider Church and society on matters of wholeness and healing. Below are some things led by the group and a list of the current members is at the bottom of the page. We’d love to hear from you so please get in touch with ideas for Healing Forums, setting up new Healing Wells, with articles for the newsletter or requests for information or ideas. Healing WellsWe are working towards each deanery having a focal point or “well” of people that anyone can contact for help or advice with healing matters within their parish. It will be a place of support, sharing together and exploring the call to healing, learning to listen, and training. If you are interested talk to your clergy and get in contact with Josie Halla and we can put you in touch with like-minded people with a heart for healing ministry. Healing ForumThe forums are aimed at those involved in healing ministry or wanting to know more about it. Through 2021 the Diocesan Healing Advisory Group will be offering four opportunities for people to come together, reflect on the times we are living in and explore where healing is, can be and has been at work.
Healing CoursesThe Acorn Course is one that we recommend for developing skills in healing prayer. The Diocesan Healing Advisory Group aims to run training days each year .
