We are looking for an interculturally literate priest to join our ministry team and play a key role in helping us develop as an Intercultural Worshipping Community (IWC). IWCs are missional church communities where people from different cultural and ethnic heritage deliberately interact with one another in order to deepen their understanding and experience of God and each other.

We are five parishes (pop. 3200) who are used to working together through a Benefice Council and Ministry Team.

Two Colleges of Durham University are seeking to appoint a joint Chaplain to lead in the provision of pastoral, spiritual and religious support to all members, of all faiths and beliefs. Hatfield College, where the Chaplain will be based, has a Chapel Licensed for Divine Service. Hence, the successful applicant will be required to be licenced by the Bishop of Durham. St Cuthbert’s Society does not have its own chapel, but has had both lay and ordained chaplains in the past.

Are you being called to step out in faith to assist in pioneering an innovative model of ministry? Are you passionate about mission, the kingdom of God and enabling the gifts of others? Are you a team player and someone who wants to make a difference? Do you have a vision for flourishing churches and communities? If so, could this be an exciting new stipendiary role for you? Come and join us in the historic market town of Thorne.
