This programme is sponsored by the Southern Regional Institute (SRI) - including the dioceses of Bath & Wells, Bristol, Guildford, Oxford, Portsmouth, Salisbury and Winchester - which is open to wider participation.

This programme is for you if you have been in stipendiary parochial ministry for at least 12 to15 years, are probably in your 50s and are beginning to think about how you want to shape your ministry for the next phase.

With retirement age for many now looking as if it may be 70, what does it mean to be in parochial ministry for the long haul?

We shall provide an opportunity for you to:

• Reflect about your ministry since your ordination, so that you can become more aware of those aspects of ministry that renew you and those that drain you.
• Reflect about your original vocation to ordained ministry: does it continue to sustain you or does it need re-appraising in the light of experience?
• Think about new skills you might like to develop for the next phase of your ministry.
• Think about your lifestyle as a minister and plan for its future sustainability.

These residential sessions will provide an opportunity to think and pray together about vocation and ministry, to share in the worship of Salisbury Cathedral and to make plans for further learning.
