Make Hay while the sun shines!’ – if you haven’t signed up already then it’s not too late to do so!

Bishop Richard Jackson, Bishop of Hereford said, "The rural church often feels neglected, yet is where the majority of Anglicans can be found! I hope our time together will inspire us that there is much to be thankful for and great potential if it can be embraced by clergy and lay together.”

Jeremy Kerswell, Principal of Plumpton College, said the college's strategic plan has been pivotal to its success in recent years. "I’m pleased to have the opportunity to share how we created it, the progress we are making to date and lessons learned! To have an opportunity to do so with the audience attending the Rural Conference is a real pleasure. Many will know that we have worked very closely with the diocese and members of the rural community at the College and we are delighted to see many more of you at the Conference.” 

If you are ordained you may wish to know that there is a CMD grant available to cover the full cost. The CMD forms can be downloaded from the diocesan website and sent to The Revd Canon Earl Collins.
