Pastoral reorganisation

Pastoral Reorganisation Made Simple

From time to time parishes may need to make changes pastorally to further mission and ministry in their communities.  The Pastoral Team are ready to advise and help you.

Your first point of contact is Kim Stanley.

Types of change include:

  • Boundary and name changes
  • Creation of a larger single parish
  • Creation of team and group ministries
  • Declaring a church redundant
  • Changes in the use of a church
     

How does it work? The pastoral team will help to formulate your proposals to be taken to your Deanery Mission and Pastoral Committee.  The proposals will then be discussed and ratified by the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee before a formal recommendation is made to the Bishop.  This recommendation is then legalised under the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 and the Mission and Pastoral etc. (Amendment) Measure 2018.  The procedure includes consultation.

In some cases it may be necessary to suspend presentation to your parish during this process, to review the patronage of your parish, and the use of parsonage housing.

The Mission and Pastoral Measure includes provision for the Bishop's Mission Order, whereby the Bishop can recognise existing mission initiatives or promote and authorise a fresh expression of church.
