Vocations Day

What is the role of clergy in the 21st century church?
How is this vocation changing with the times?
Who is called to this sacred order? 

Join Bishop Anna, along with a panel of speakers each with a unique story to tell about how God called them to ordination and how God has been using them since. Each member of the panel will speak for 12 minutes, with opportunities for questions and comments throughout the day.

Panel speakers:

• The Right Rev Anna Greenwood-Lee, bishop of the diocese
• The Very Rev Ansley Tucker, dean of Christ Church Cathedral (recently retired)
• The Ven Eric Partridge, executive archdeacon
• The Ven Elizabeth Northcott, regional archdeacon
• The Rev Canon Ian Powell, bi-vocational priest and priest to the city of Victoria
• The Rev Bill Tarter, priest and Guardian of the Community of Francis and Clare (a contemporary, vowed community expression of the Franciscan tradition)
• The Rev Juli Mallet, priest 
• The Rev Colleen Lissamer, priest (recently ordained)
• The Rev Wally Eamer, deacon of the diocese

Whether you might be discerning a call to ordained ministry or you are an active member of your parish and want to know more about what your parish can be doing to raise up people for ministry, you are encouraged to attend. There will be lots of time for discussion and questions.

Registration for this event is now closed.
