Prayer Diary

She lived in a city flat with three others who’d also responded to the invitation from this diocese to join the Ministry Experience Scheme. She’d initially assumed it was only for those explicitly exploring ordination but “God made it clear that this was one of the paths on my journey”.

Three years later, she looks back on a rich, influential year which taught her many things. From living with others, Ash learnt about human complexity; being offered a taster of many forms of ministry gave her the confidence to think bigger about how “I might share God’s good news”; the theological modules on offer quickened her eagerness to learn and deepened her faith. “Despite some difficult moments,” she reflects, “the year opened my mind and helped me discern God’s call to work with children and young people.”
