Deaneries: Revitalised for Mission
From 21 August to 28 September, churches and individuals across the Diocese of Chester are invited to take part in a consultation on proposals to revitalise the deanery system. Developed by Bishop Mark, the Senior Leadership Team, Rural Deans and Lay Chairs, the proposals aim to strengthen local mission, collaboration and leadership in support of the Diocese’s vision and strategic priorities. Feedback will be sought on a revised deanery leadership model, proposed deanery groupings, additional support for deaneries and arrangements for transition. Everyone is encouraged to participate, with PCCs and deaneries also invited to submit formal responses. The consultation pack and response details will be available when the consultation opens on 21 August.
