Licensed Lay Ministers / Lay Practicum – Session Information (with Bishop David):
The Anglican Christian tradition has its roots in the early Anglo Celtic missions and grew out of the ancient faith of the English speaking peoples. It has DNA from the Mediterranean apostolic mission of the first century. This hybrid heritage became independent of the Roman Catholic Church at the time of the reformation but retained a Catholic heart together with a reforming mind. The heritage has since found roots and wings in many cultures and parts of the world , and is now the world’s third largest church. These sessions will explore the vital signs of the heritage and its life and the characteristics of its mission over time.
Wardens and Clergy will each be having a session with Bishop Philip and Mr Ben Ferreira (Diocesan Manager).
