At my last STETS weekend I met my year group and within that, my small “&Co” group.  These are the 5 other students who will be like my tutor group for my time at STETS.  We will meet together, study and pray together and support each other through our training.  We are a mixed bunch with different church backgrounds and life experience and we are just beginning to get to know each other.  Please remember Mary, Ann, Ness, Irwin, Mark and I in your prayers.

I was sitting in Salisbury Cathedral at the end of evensong chatting to the woman next to me who asked why I was there, and the words came into my mouth without going through my brain – “I’m an ordinand” Wow did I just say that?  Is it really true?  It has been such a long journey to get to this point that I can hardly believe I am here, yet here I am , at the start of a three years of preordination training at STETS (Southern Theological Education and  Training Scheme -  STETS is a part time course which is based in Salisbury).

I don’t know how the next three years will grow and challenge and change me but I know that this is where God is leading me
