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.
