What does a Reader Minister do? Readers are lay people in the Church of England, from all walks of life, who are called by God, theologically trained and licensed by the Church to preach, teach, lead worship and assist in pastoral, evangelistic and liturgical work. The office of Reader is the only lay ministry in the Church of England which is voluntary, nationally accredited, Episcopally licensed and governed by canon. There are nearly 10,000 Readers, with men and women represented almost equally. How do you become a Reader?

A favourite prayer…  Father give to us and to all your people, In times of anxiety serenity, In times of uncertainty patience,  In times of hardship courage,  And at all times a quiet trust in your wisdom and love.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord.    Amen
