Incumbency Skills

Twice each year the dioceses of the eastern region (Chelmsford, Ely, Norwich, Peterborough, St Albans and St Edmundsbury and Ipswich) holds a residential conference for those who have been appointed to incumbency or priest in charge posts in the previous year.

The conference is led by those with experience of continuing ministerial education and people with particular expertise from participating dioceses to enrich and facilitate our work together.
