This course forms part of our three-year Post Ordination Training program for clergy after their entrance into the ordained ministry. It focuses on ministerial formation within the context of Parish ministry by a training Rector and or facilitator of continuous learning.
Post ordination training primarily takes place in the context of the local parish; therefore, the Training Incumbent will be the primary facilitator. However, the cleric will be assigned by the Bishop of George to a POT group under the direction of the Dean of Studies of our Diocese.
This group will meet on a regular basis (at least once a quarter) and the Training Incumbent will be given the dates well in advance. The presence and participation of the cleric in POT will be imperative but should not be seen as a stepping stone or burden but rather as a privilege and essential part of skills, formational, personal and organisational development within the Church.
Throughout the duration of the program those responsible for training and formation will make every effort to ensure that the POT cleric receive sound and holistic training in practical matters of ministry in the Diocese of George and wider Communion.
