Celebrating Women’s Ministry

An event to mark the 25th anniversary of the ordination of women. It is also the 50th anniversary of the first female Readers licensed this year, and both will be part of the celebration.

The event will take place on Saturday, 18 May at 2.30pm in Doncaster Minster. The guest speaker is The Ven Joanne Grenfell, Archdeacon of Portsmouth (and former Dean of Women’s Ministry in Sheffield Diocese).  How is ministry richer for everyone due to the presence of women in the priesthood? What difference has a generation of women made in ministry? It is a celebration of all that women have brought to ministry, and continue to bring.

The event is open to everyone and anyone!

There will be refreshments available following the service.

Those wishing to robe should wear cassock, surplice and white stole or blue Reader’s scarf. Robing is optional!
