Curacy is a crucial phase of continued formation for future ministry. This stage is known as Initial Ministerial Education (IME) Phase 2, to emphasise that initial training does not end at ordination but at the completion of the first training post.
A process of intentional continued learning is therefore integral to a curates work. IME Phase 2 aims to build on previous experience and learning both recognised and implicit to facilitate personal and professional development.
2024-25 IME Programmes
Ministry and Training Agreement
The Ministry and Training Agreement helps curates and supervising ministers to shape their working relationship and mutual expectations. It is used to plan the priorities of the curate's ministry during training and plot key dates such as supervision. The Agreement should be reviewed at least once each year during the curacy.
Ministry Journals
Ministry journals can be used to harvest the learning potential of events and pastoral encounters. Feel free to adapt the journal templates to suit your own needs.
Supervision Records
Supervision records help the incumbent and curate review the curates existing expertise and experience and keep a record of learning outcomes. Feel free to adapt the journal templates to suit your own needs.
