The Discernment Process

The ordination discernment process progresses through three stages designed to test, then confirm and finally prepare those offering for ordained ministry to take up their calling. It seeks to balance flexibility of application with a clear and rigorous process by which a three way conversation between enquirer, God and the church can take place.
