11 people from across the diocese will be licensed as Licensed Lay Ministers (LLMS) in October.
LLMs have been trained and authorised to teach the faith, offer Christian leadership, and enable mission. They live out their faith in communities, churches and workplaces. The Church of England recognises them as ‘theologically educated lay people who can lead worship, preach, teach, work in mission and evangelism and do pastoral care’.
This year, 11 people have completed their training and Bishop Viv will license them at a service on Saturday 8th October at 10.30am at Bristol Cathedral and everyone is welcome. More details to follow nearer the time so please watch this space ........
