*******************************************************************

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. Current Lay Minister Licences expire at Pentecost 2025 and attendance at one of the sessions before Pentecost is necessary if you wish to be licensed. 

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.
