Trinity welcomes Irish clergy

12 October 2010

This term Trinity is hosting four groups of clergy from the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe in north-west Ireland, The third group arrived yesterday.

The groups of about 12 each are coming one at a time to spend a week in Trinity with their bishop, Revd Ken Good. Trinity is providing talks and Bible studies from George Kovoor and faculty members, as well as visits to local parishes, including those where Trinity students are training in context (in the photo). They are also spending time with the bishops of Bristol and Swindon.

The aim is to give them time for study, reflection and refreshment away from their busy parish lives.

The photo shows one of the groups in Lea Church, Wiltshire, with Revd Canon Richard East, vicar of the Woodbridge Group of Churches, where Trinity students have been training in context for the past two years.
