Deanery Handbook
|
Area Deans, Lay Deans and their Assistants play key roles in the work of the diocese and in the mission of God. That work combines legal responsibilities, pastoral responsibility for those in their particular deanery and a strategic role in ministry and mission. A deanery offers different opportunities for clergy and laity to support one another and to learn together. Working together effectively in roles across the deanery is part of shared local ministry and a demonstration that together we are the body of Christ. We are currently working on a new Deanery Handbook which explains the different elements of a deanery and includes sample role descriptions for key deanery posts, as well as giving information on the variety of ministries across deaneries and practical information. This will be available to download from early July 2022. You can also download the Constitution and Standing Orders of Deanery Synods which is another useful document.
