Education and Training for Discipleship and Ministry

The NETWORK FOR MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT (NMD) is the people and programmes looking after a wide variety of educational and formational needs for the Diocese of York. We try to do this where we can with our colleagues in the York & Hull District of the Methodist Church. Click here for a fuller Introduction to the NMD.
Included in the introduction is also a range of information about Methodist resources and people, about the York Institute for Community Theology, and about CLAY: Christian Learning Across Yorkshire – an ecumenical programme of educational opportunities

'Encounter Bungoma 2008'
A group from the York Diocese recently visited the Diocese of Bungoma in W Kenya at the invitation of the Rt Revd Eliud Wabukala. Information about the visit, the teaching and training given by the group and the Wycliffe Training Centre will appear shortly.
It is hoped that a repeat visit will be organised in the future. Details from Phil White or via www.stjamesscarborough.co.uk.
