Relationships with our South African link diocese of Kimberley and Kuruman (K&K) were boosted recently with a visit of 10 priests to the Oxford diocesan Training and Portfolio team at Ripon College, Cuddesdon.
The visitors delighted Cuddesdon students with their sung Eucharist and joined in fully with college life for the fortnight of their stay. They also spent time at the weekends with K&K link parishes, and visited Oxford.
Guided by diocesan staff they studied Old Testament, theological reflection, conflict and change, and adult education, as part of their continuing ministerial education.
The Revd Beren Hartless, principal of the diocesan OLM scheme said: ‘They continue to enjoy our Portfolio approach of assessment, introduced to them in South Africa, and have gone home with the intention of completing further Portfolio Gifts and Competencies.’
