Peter Hill – Archdeacon of Nottingham30th October 2011
“I’m involved in the deployment strategy for the diocese and looking at where we put vicars, clergy
and mission leaders I the diocese for 2020, and just for your prayers, at the moment there are roughly 150 clergy in the diocese… but by 2020, unless there is a serious miracle of ordination and vocation, there will
only be 100 available to us. That’s a third less.And so, unless something changes we will be placing
lay people in charge of parishes before too long.”
