Eleven new deacons were ordained deacon at HTB Courtfield Gardens on 28 September.
They have all trained and discerned through the Caleb Stream. The Caleb Stream is revitalising the church by preparing experienced leaders who are called to serve in their local context as self-supporting ordained ministers. Through a one-year pathway for ordained ministry in the Church of England, the Caleb Stream is designed specifically for mature and experienced lay leaders. It overlaps the formal selection process and training, preparing candidates for ordination and local deployment after 12 months.
You can view more photos on the Diocese of London Facebook.
