That is what the pupils at our Primary Schools said when asked about a new vicar. We are a new rural benefice of four villages, close to the county town of Taunton.

A fantastic opportunity to further develop our two benefices centred on the ancient and thriving market town of Halesworth in beautiful rural NE Suffolk. Lay and ordained ministries are flourishing, and our churches engage creatively with our communities. We stand in the gently liberal catholic tradition, are inclusive and welcoming of all, hopeful and excited about the future God is leading us into.

The appointed person will be a man or woman who can demonstrate that they: Have a heart for mission, and will engage with and forge new links within our community, including local schools.

The Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich is seeking to appoint a Lead Chaplain (Anglican) for the Multifaith chaplaincy at University of Suffolk and Suffolk New College.
