Come and help us be here for everyone. This Benefice lies on the edge of the Quantock hills with the West Somerset Railway running through it. It is within easy reach of Taunton and comprises five parishes that are mainly rural, though additional housing is being built in one area. We will welcome and support a Priest-in-Charge who will inspire people of all ages to know God and to grow in faith; offer collaborative leadership and a clear vision for the Benefice that is also mindful of different communities and traditions; take an active and creative role in the life of our viillages; strengthen links with our schools; support the personal and vocational development of our current lay ministry and encourage new people in a spirit of shared local ministry. A part-time administrative assistant to the Priest-in-Charge will be employed to work from the parish office in St Mary’s Church Centre in Bishops Lydeard, precise details to be agreed. For more details and an application pack, please 01823 413315 or email Simon Hill, Archdeacon of Taunton Applications to be received by 16 May 2025 Visits and interviews: 2/3 June 2025
