A year on an Island serving the community; serving God. A year on an Island discovering God; discovering yourself.
As you listen to the call of God, the Diocese of Sodor and Man on the Isle of Man invites you to come and live among us, in the place where St German first preached the Gospel almost 1600 years ago, even before Augustine arrived at Canterbury. A place ravaged by the Vikings, bought and sold by the wealthy throughout history; a land now fiercely independent with its own parliament (Tynwald).
Come and listen to your own call through service, reflection and encounter. Find time to focus on God's purpose for your life as you discover your path ahead is like none you've walked before.
Your year will be lived in a shared community house at the Cathedral in Peel in the Western Mission Partnership (each Partnership is made up of several parishes, each with its own council and each with its own character and emphasis on mission and ministry). Your placement will be shared between the Cathedral team and a parish church. This will give you a good opportunity to be part of a large team, whilst finding out what it is like for the many parochial clergy who minister alone as priest and pioneer.
A monthly allowance towards personal costs is provided.
