Revd Fr Kevin Jacobs SCP
For the last few years I have met with other Bishop’s advisors to SSM’s from across the country on a regular basis to establish a support/advice network for anyone who is an Ordained Minister but falls outside of stipendiary ministry.
This includes of course, Self-Supporting Ministers working full or part time, and those who are retired but still active in ministry. Minister’s in Secular Employment, Chaplains in all areas of ministry who are not employed by, or receive a stipend from, the Church of England, and not forgetting those who are in House for Duty posts who still require another source of income.
Our role as Bishop’s Advisors on SSM’s should be seen as not only supporting our SSM sisters and brothers, but raising awareness to the unique challenges faced by them, and indeed, their fulltime ministerial colleagues who are required to work with them.
