REGISTER HERE FOR SATURDAY 21 MARCH 2026

This year we have two Boundaries Workshops scheduled - the first is on Saturday 21 March 2026

We very pleased that Jacky Sewell is able to facilitate these for us again this year.

Dates for 2026:

Saturday March 21st – Dunedin

Saturday  November 21st – Invercargill

To avoid bottlenecks in attendance during future bulk licensing years (e.g. 2028 Lay Minister renewals), we encourage you to attend a Workshop before your renewal is due – i.e. the year or 2 prior.
Doing so helps spread attendance more evenly and creates smaller group sizes, which allow for richer discussion and better opportunities for inter-personal interaction.

REGISTER HERE FOR SATURDAY 21 MARCH 2026

Date: Saturday 21 March 2026

Time: 10am -3pm

Venue: St Mark's Church, 27 Shand Street, Green Island.

BYO lunch, tea and coffee provided.

Who needs to attend?

Attendance at a Boundaries workshop every three years is an essential requirement for those wishing to hold, or holding, a Licence (as Lay or Clergy) or Permission to Officiate from the Bishop. Others are also welcome to attend, subject to spaces being available. Please see the attached Diocesan 'Expectations in Ministry'.

_________________________________________________________ 

Lay Ministers:

It is an essential requirement to ensure that you have attended a Boundaries Workshop within the last three years if you wish to be re-licensed or are being Licensed for the first time with a Lay Licence.

Clergy:

All Clergy undertaking ministry, whether full time, part time, or on occasion, have an obligation to protect all who we minister to and amongst.

It is a requirement that all Clergy with a PTO or Licence attend a Boundaries Workshop every three years, as a minimum. If you haven’t attended a course in the last three years, you will need to ensure you attend one of these sessions so that your Licence or PTO is able to remain current or be renewed.
