Clergy Wellbeing

CofE Birmingham is committed to flourishing and fullness of life for all in public representative ministry, and has formally adopted the CofE Clergy Wellbeing Covenant.

Currently, a Working Group is developing a Clergy well-being strategy to embed the Covenant in the life of Parishes and Chaplaincies across the Diocese.
