Spiritual discipline and self-development form the central concern of the formation programme. The enhancement of practical ministerial skills is the proper concern of the Local Training Group and is set within the context of the student's parish; this incorporates a training programme which stipulates the ministerial tasks which Ordinands and Reader candidates should undertake, and which should provide sufficient evidence of a minimum competence and understanding of those tasks; this programme is supported by the Reflective Ministerial Practice module which runs over years two and three.</p><h4>Overall Aims</h4><p>1   To develop the ministerial resources of the local church to enable it to be a growing, worshipping, celebrating, proclaiming and caring Christian presence in each community in the Diocese.</p><p>2   To enable Ordained Local Ministers and Readers to be reminders, interpreters, exemplars and instruments of God's mission and ministry in the Church and in the world.</p><p>3 To prepare Ordained Local Ministers and Readers to fulfil the public representative role of ordained and licensed ministry, to act under authority and to carry authority and take responsibility, as appropriate.</p><h4><strong>Objectives</strong></h4><p>4 To prepare candidates to exercise collaborative leadership in the church's life and worship, and to encourage the local church to work together in mission, ministry and evangelism.</p><p>5 To equip candidates with the necessary theological knowledge and expertise which will enable them to reflect upon, interpret and communicate the Christian faith in today's world.</p><p>6 To equip candidates with the necessary resources for a growing awareness of themselves and others, which acknowledges their limitations and which is ready to refer to others.</p><p>7 To prepare candidates to be spiritual leaders in their community and to share their faith with others.</p><p>8 To prepare candidates to exercise pastoral care in their locality.</p><p>9 To form Ordinands and Readers so that they are examples of a Christ-like life in their church and community.</p><p>10 To prepare candidates to work collaboratively alongside other ministers with whom they are required to share ministerial responsibilities, and also with their congregations.</p><p>11 To encourage candidates to assume continuing responsibility for their own spiritual and ministerial formation as the source of their vision, motivation and sustenance in ministry.</p><h4>Contacts:</h4><p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104101101/mailto:mark.hocknull@lincoln.anglican.org">Revd Canon Dr Mark Hocknull</a>  - Head of School of Theology and Ministry Training</p><p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104101101/mailto:sally.myers@lincoln.anglican.org">Revd Sally Myers</a> - Director of Studies </p>  <div id="addit"><script type="text/javascript">var addthis_brand = "Diocese of Lincoln"; var addthis_header_color = "#000000"; var addthis_header_background = "#f6fff7"; var addthis_options = 'digg, delicious, linkedin, google, facebook, twitter, email, more';</script> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104101101/http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104101101im_/http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104101101js_/http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4c4d62624de20c41"></script></div> </div>  </div>  <p style="clear:both; font-size:.1em; line-height:0px; margin:12px;"> </p> <div id="site_info"> <a href="/web/20120104101101/http://lincoln.anglican.org/sitemap.php">Site Map</a> | <a href="/web/20120104101101/http://lincoln.anglican.org/page.php?n_@CC_46">Vacancies</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104101101/http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/section.asp?sectiontype=topic&catid=22003" target="_blank">Family History Information</a> | <a href="/web/20120104101101/http://lincoln.anglican.org/page.php?n_@CI_74">Contact Us</a><br/> ©2012 The Diocese of Lincoln</div>  <br/> <br/> </div>  <div id="reflection"><img src="/web/20120104101101im_/http://lincoln.anglican.org/g_lib/fade_bottom2010.png" alt="" width="971" height="100"/></div> </body> </html>
