Hereford Diocese has a very clear strategy of Local Ministry, which has been encouraged and developed across the parishes of the diocese. The laity and clergy share in leadership together, responding to the priorities set by the parishes and enabling everybody in the local community to share and grow in the Church’s mission and ministry.
Tenbury Team has embraced this and, following teaching on local ministry and proper consultation, a Local Ministry Group was called out in 2003. The licensed clergy members are joined by lay members, Kath Bills (Whitton), Michael Holmes (Whitton), Kevin Bryant (Tenbury), Mary Thomas (Burford), Ros Plested (St Michaels).
Although each lay member comes from their own parish there is a very real sense in which they, like the clergy, function across the whole Team Ministry.
The Local Ministry Development Group meets on the first Thursday of every month. At the meetings they have developed the pattern of discussing the Gospel for the following Sunday. They also spend time making shared decisions about the Team as a whole and seeing where there are new possibilities for mission and ministry, The lay members of the LMDG also lead and share in public worship across the Team Ministry, so time is also set aside for training and the sharing of ideas and resources.
