Capability and competence

Abstract

"Most ministers are capable and competent people, committed to offering the best they can for the Lord who has called them. As the writer of a past generation, Oswald Chambers, so eloquently put it, ‘My utmost for His highest’ is our aspiration. Ministers with this attitude will seek to keep abreast of new developments, embrace continuing professional/ministerial development (CPD/CMD) with a willing spirit, acquire new skills and hone the existing ones, be reflective in their practice of ministry and adjust that practice to new situations as appropriate. They will readily acknowledge that formation is not something that is completed by the time they leave college, but is a lifetime journey of growth and change"
