 The East Midlands Certificate course is 'education for discipleship'
and replaces the former Bishop's Certificate in this diocese.
“I am very keen to commend this new and exciting course
as a first class ingredient for learning, the exploration and preparation
of ministries, and the empowering of the local church.
“The course
draws on resources from across the region and is fully ecumenical.
It offers open access, and in two years there is an opportunity
to cover an impressive range of material and wisdom.
“As we Christians
need to become ever more confident in owning our faith and consider
the call to ministry to support the life and witness of the Church,
this endeavour provides marvellous resources for individuals and
groups from local churches. Try it and see.”
The Rt Rev’d Dr Alastair Redfern, Bishop of Derby
