How people who believe that the Church can adapt to serve a new Century are getting to grips with organising the new Circuit
The work of the new Circuit* is a team effort
(If you want to know what we mean by 'Circuit', it may help to visit this page in the Methodist Church website)
Revs Jim Dobson (who was in the 'old' Bristol South Circuit), Paul Edwards (Frome Valley), Peter Grimwood (West), David Hardy (Kingswood) and Peter Mortlock (North) will share the responsibility for this vast organisation.
They have undertaken to each hold a 'portfolio', each expending a great deal of effort to make their part work for the good of all:
Rev. Jim Dobson is the 'Lead Superintendent'; with concern for Staffing, external links and strategy;
Rev. Paul Edwards' concern is Mission ('world and home');
Rev. Peter Grimwood's is Local Preaching and Ecumenical affairs;
Rev. David Hardy's is Pastoral Training, healing and children & young people;
and Rev. Peter Mortlock will look after Resources, staffing, property, legal matters, finance employment and the 'Connexional link'.
The Offices are at Horfield, where Mr Mortlock already prepares his e-zine, and Bedminster, where Mr John Seward oversees the life of the Circuit as the Circuit Administrator
The Leadership Team is now at work.
