Events
Ripon and Leeds Diocesan Office provide various development activities, which are open to all. Some are arranged independently, some in conjunction with other Anglican dioceses and some in conjunction with other denominations.
Further details of these and other events, including details of activities that are not currently scheduled but can be provided on request, can be found on our events page.
CLAY - Christians Learning Across Yorkshire
Christians Learning Across Yorkshire is a group of training/education officers, from various church denominations that are members of Churches Together in England, who seek to:
• promote a culture of lifelong learning in God’s church
• promote the unity of God’s church by working together to resource Christians for discipleship, mission and ministry, whilst recognising that some learning is denominationally specific
• enhance learning by bringing diverse traditions side by side, as we seek common ground to share and strengths to celebrate.
Events are open to all! For details see CLAY 15 (Sept 2011 - March 2012) and CLAY 16 (March 2012 - Sept 2012)
Additional information and events can be found on the Clergy Development pages.
