Continuing Ministerial Development (CMD)
As part of the Revive strand of our diocese’s strategy, we’re seeking to reawaken a locally-based programme of Continuing Ministerial Development courses. Recently, such courses have been offered online via Sarum College (see the details below), but we hope to organise some in-person training days and some locally-organised webinars.
Bishop’s Study Days:
- Monday 10 March 2025 (10am to 3pm): Portsmouth Cathedral
Led by recently-appointed Canon Theologian Duncan Dormer, from USPG. Details here. - Monday 29 September 2025 (10am to 3pm): Portsmouth Cathedral
Led by recently-appointed Canon Theologian Sharon Prentis. Details here.
