Are you the person God is calling here?
The vibrant Cumbrian market town of Workington, is prayerfully seeking a new Rector. We are a united benefice of two parishes with magnificent and contrasting buildings in prominent locations. Each has a distinct flavour, but we are both steeped in the Liberal Catholic tradition. Both parishes have seen recent growth with a diversity of ages, nationalities and backgrounds and we are looking for someone to lead us into the next stage of our mission.
We are praying for a priest who is:
deeply grounded in their faith in Christ and is able to lead the parishes in mission within the liberal Anglo-Catholic traditions of worship, prayer and liturgy
prayerful and empathetic
a collaborative, energetic and empowering leader
committed to civic engagement and partnership as part of the Church’s mission
enthusiastic about preaching and deepening the faith of people of all ages
able to demonstrate a heart for young people
pastoral and approachable
committed to warm, ecumenical relationships
blessed with a sense of humour
