Wondering whether you are called to the ministry?

There are so many ways to express your sense of call. You could work as a chaplain or lay person in prison or hospital ministry. Could you be a Missioner in Work and Economic Life? Have you gifts in administration, music, children's work, pastoral care, or spiritual direction. Has God called you to the priesthood, overseas mission, or to become a Licensed Lay Worker ?

These pages provide information about the great variety of ministries, paid and unpaid, in the Church of England. You can use them to find out more about ministry in the Diocese of Oxford and there are links to other Anglican pages along with news of forthcoming events in your area.

Who do I contact?

In the first instance, you should discuss your sense of call with your Vicar or College Chaplain. He or she will be able to put you in touch with a Vocations Adviser; there are more than 30 of these spread around the Diocese of Oxford. You can find your nearest one by looking in the Diocesan Year Book (your Vicar should have a copy) or by contacting Debbie Dallimore at Diocesan Church House, tel. 01865 208291 or email debbie.dallimore@oxford.anglican.org .
