Gravesend’s Deanery Synod met on Thursday 6 March. The Area Dean, Rev Nigel Bourne, working with the clergy chapter and Growth Enabler, Rev. Dylan Turner, agreed that ‘Called to Grow’ should be the main focus of the conversation.
One particular area which the Deanery as a whole sees as a priority is the acute need to grow vocations to public ministry, in particular, Licensed Lay Ministry.
To that end, the Growth Enabler was able to call on two of the recently recruited volunteer enablers, Amy Brown and Hayley Usmar.
Amy and Hayley are LLM trainees approaching their licensing.
They were able to bring a freshness and positivity to the gathering which was reflected in the energy in the room.
