2009-10 Deanery Plan Review

During 2009 the Deanery Synod has been reviewing the Deanery Plan. This has been encouraged by the need to produce a deanery plan that will invigorate the life of God’s kingdom in the Hinckford area and the need for fair shares of stipendiary clergy around the country. In practice this has meant producing a plan that reduces the levels of stipendiary clergy within the deanery from the current equivalent of 10 full time posts to the equivalent of 8.5 full time posts. The driving force for this comes from the declining number of stipendiary clergy available nationally. It is indeed a sacrificial act on our part.

The foundation papers for discussion have been available for several months. It was discussed at the last Synod in February and will be voted on at the next meeting in May.
