Meeting with either the Director or one of the Assistant Directors of Ordinands for a series of meetings will help you clarify your vocation to ordained ministry and guide you through the Shared Discernment Process.
These sessions will be based on the Qualities for Discernment and continued for 12 to 18 months.
Discernment Panels
There are two Discernment Panels. The first one is the Carousel Conversations; six short interviews conducted online.
If the feedback from those conversations is positive you may proceed to a 2-day Residential Panel at a retreat house.
At the end of that Panel the Advisers write a report to the Bishop advising whether they recommend that you enter training for ordained ministry, or not, and giving details of what to do next.
Recommendation is for training, not for ordination itself, and is not a guarantee of a job.
