'Called?' Vocations Day 2008

Here's the information for this year's Vocations Day. I'll be very much involved as usual, helping people explore Reader ministry.

Vocations day is an opportunity to explore and discern your ministry, whether this may be a formal lay ministry of some kind or simply mean being more involved with your church, this day will help you to realise your calling.

This day will give you the opportunity to hear from those already working as lay ministers and meet the officers responsible for particular ministries.

This day will be of value to anyone interested in finding out about opportunities to serve and minister within the church. Speaker: Rev Charles Richardson Ordained in 1979, Charles has been involved in vocational work for the whole of his ministry. After two curacies he spent five years as a Selection Secretary and Vocations Advisor at the Ministry Division. As Rector and Rural Dean in Hastings he continued to offer vocational advice and on his appointment as Vicar of St. John's, East Dulwich, he became Vocations Advisor for the Woolwich Area in the Diocese of Southwark. He is a Pastoral Selector for Bishop's Selection Conferences. He edited and contributed to a recent book on calling, This is our Calling (SPCK, 2004).
