Developing Confident Collaborative Leadership

This is about developing leadership using all the resources available to the local church. It would involve consolidation in some parishes and new work in others to build up shared ministry in teams, with appropriate training and support.

On this page we will highlight stories from around the diocese that illustrate this aspect of Living Faith.  If you would like us to feature an event or initiative your parish if running do let us know.

Leadership and ‘‘all that jazz’’: developing leadership skills and teams in the local church

20th November 2010.
10.00am - 4.00pm

What does Shaping Confident Collaborative Leadership actually mean for the local church? This is the key question we will explore in this event which was originally planned for April 2010. Please have a look at the substantially revised publicity which now gives a much clearer idea of its purpose. You do not need any musical ability to get the most from this day.
