Recruiting for Him upstairs
Published: 23 July 2008
The Church of England is launching a national recruitment campaign to encourage more young people to consider training to become priests.
The scheme will target college leavers with posters depicting young priests ministering in fashionable or exciting locations, such as one featuring an Army chaplain in battle fatigues under the title 'Touring the parish — via Afghanistan'.
The initiative is being launched in response to falling numbers of young people coming forward for ordination, while total numbers of Church of England of more mature ordinations have been rising over the past decade.
Unfortunately, the campaign's linked website, A Call Waiting (www.callwaiting.org.uk), which is supposed to feature streamed interviews with young ordinands-in-training, deacons and priests, and articles tracking the process from a discernment of vocation, through the selection procedure and finally to ordination, was still waiting to go live at the time of going to press.
Oh well, patience is a virtue.
