- The Very Revd Katharine Poulton
Watching a pair of swans landing on the lake at the Dromantine retreat and conference centre in late March was a wonderful experience. The beautiful setting helped all those involved with the Bishops’ Selection Conference for Training for the Ordained Ministry feel that they really had taken time out of their routine to consider carefully and prayerfully those who were offering themselves for o rdained ministry. All the men and women who came forward have been working on the Foundation Course. In a few months those who have completed two years of the MTh course will be ordained Deacons and serve in parishes as Interns for one year and the people who are finishing the NSM course will also be ordained. The training of people for Ordained Ministry in the Church of Ireland has been undergoing change and periods of transition are often times of uncertainty, but the vocation to this work in the Church of God remains the same and we are thankful for those whose ministry in this capacity is faithful.
Diocesan Directors of Ordinands can be contacted through Parish Clergy.
