Peter Hill – Archdeacon of Nottingham 30 th October 2011 Im involved in the deployment strategy for the diocese and looking at where we put vicars, clergy and mission leaders I the diocese for 2020, and just for your prayers, at the moment there are roughly 150 clergy in the diocese… but by 2020, unless there is a serious miracle of ordination and vocation, there will only be 100 available to us. Thats a third less. And so, unless something changes we will be placing lay people in charge of parishes before too long.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

In the evening to the Coffee House in Cornhill, the first time that ever I was there, and I found much pleasure in it, through the diversity of company and discourse'.
