(London Borough of Bromley)

The Bishop of Rochester and the Bishop of Richborough, in consultation with our Patron (Keble College, Oxford), seek to appoint a Society priest who will offer an evangelistic, pastoral, sacramental and liturgical ministry to the benefice.

We are praying for a priest who will:

  • hear God’s call to contemporary urban life and ministry in this place.
  • confidently and joyfully celebrate the sacraments of the Church.
  • be a gifted pastor, communicator and teacher of the Faith.
  • provide prayerful, visionary and missional leadership for the parish.
  • lead us in developing further our evangelistic outreach and pastoral care.
  • nurture, support and grow a diversity of lay ministries.
  • fully engage with, share and strengthen the wider life and ministry of our Deanery and Diocese.

In return we offer:

  • a beautiful church in a prominent location in the parish.
  • a rich catholic liturgical life and musical tradition.
  • a modern five-bedroom vicarage.
  • good local schools and amenities.
  • a hospitable community.
  • a supportive deanery within the Diocese of Rochester and wider Richborough family of parishes.
