Continuing Ministerial Development

‘Continuing Development’ is a consequence of every Christian’s continuing discipleship! This must be particularly so for all exercising ministry in the name of the Church. In this Diocese, responsibility for supporting this process is shared between the

CMD Adviser
Revd Canon Colin Gough, Church House,
St John’s Terrace, North Shields,
NE29 6HS.  Tel: 0191 270 4153
Email: c.gough@newcastle.anglican.org

and the
Continuing Ministerial DevelopmentTask Group
Convenor: Revd Catherine Pickford  Tel: 0191 273 5356 Email: catherine_pickford@yahoo.co.uk

Our Objectives are to:

  1. produce appropriately trained ministers (clergy, readers, lay workers) for the Church’s present and future mission and ministry
  2. offer particular support at times of transition in ministry
  3. ensure that authorised ministers are equipped to enable others to witness and minister
  4. support the Diocese in its responsibilities towards those it authorises to minister in its name

Much CMD will be 'self-selected and self-sourced', some will be to fulfil requirements highlighted through Ministerial Development Review and there may be those things to which we are directed by the Bishop, to extend the capacities in diocesan mission.
