Our Diocesan Mission & Ministry Committee exists to help each congregation to grow in their mission and ministry under this vision, and wishes to appoint to a new post to support its work. The committee helps to resource congregations and clergy, enabling ongoing development and learning, and providing opportunities for people across the diocese to support and nurture each other in their faith journeys. It has committed to shape its work by the Anglican Five Marks of Mission. This new post, building on previous work undertaken in the diocese, is fundamental to the delivery of many of our aims as a committee.

The post is open to both lay and ordained, and is based at the Diocesan Office in Edinburgh.
