We have a very strong group of curates in the Diocese of Gloucester and with over 30 curates and over 40 training parishes, we are constantly looking at ways of developing our Curate Training Programme, (officially titled Initial Ministerial Development).
Most of the training takes place in the parish and is supervised by the training incumbent. There are also training events (IMD) which bring curates together for mutual support and learning. The aim is to develop curates competence in the tasks they have to perform, but even more important to develop their formation as ministers of God. To access the relevant IMD year programme please see the link below mainly for curates.
There is also an extensive range of resources from setting up the curacy through to moving on which may be helpful when the time is right.
