Takes a central theological position and is able to embrace a range of practice and traditions in growing congregations.

Will lead pastoral care, and its oversight.
Can be a leader and guide in lay ministry, a core element in our Benefice Plan.
Is willing to be visible and active in all aspects of community life.
Will respect parish identities whilst working with interdenominational partners, becoming a gentle unifying force in our communities and congregations.
