Personal Life
Personal Life
- A minister's manner of life should be one of Christian
integrity. This will embrace both conduct (courtesy, honesty, financial probity)
and personal and professional relationships.
- It is the incumbent's responsibility to make sure
that the curate should have
- a day off each week
- the annual holiday entitlement for stipendiaries which is six weeks, including 6 Sundays.
- There should be time:
- for family and friends
- for reading and academic work
- for other interests.
- There needs to be clarity about if and how far the
curate's and the incumbent's households are expected to be involved in their
ministry.
