What is it?

Pastoral visits usually take place when someone is emotionally or physically vulnerable. This can make visits feel daunting for everyone involved. This session will focus on what we can do to help put people at ease before and during visits so that they feel supported, heard and safe. This will include practical things we can do (and not do), how to listen well and how to approach spiritual topics or prayer.

This session is aimed at people who are exploring or engaged in a pastoral visiting ministry or a ministry where you have pastoral responsibilities. These might be formal or informal roles. It may also be helpful to those who find themselves supporting other people to consider how you do that well.

This session will be led by Anna Naish.

This is a core training session for those on the Pastoral Pathway. For more details click here.

Car Sharing

We really encourage car sharing both for the environment and because we are aware not everyone has easy access to a car or public transport. There are a couple of questions in the booking form for those that would like to offer and/or receive lifts so we can connect people who are close to one another. Please note it asks for the first 3 or 4 letters of your postcode (e.g. CV6, CV12) so we can put you in touch with relevant people.
