There is a day conference on May 26th 2011 with Revd Dr Emma Percy exploring the theological, missional, ministerial and practical implications of this relatively un–visited topic. Emma’s writing and research explores the interface of mothering and ministry and how that dialogue can inform and enrich our self-understanding and ministerial practice.
This conference is not just for women clergy/ministers with children but for anyone – male and female, married and single – who wants to think about the impact of this theme in the Church and wider society.
The cost of the day is £15 (subsidised by Ely Diocese). For more details please contact Revd Pauline Reid, tel. 01638 508990 or email revpauline@btinternet.com

Padre Tracey Bateson has written about life as a Padre in the army.
“My soldiers may have other names for me, but I am a Padre, a member of AWESOME and I am 1 of only 5 female Padres. I became a Christian at Uni and had no idea I would become Ordained let alone join the Army in my 30′s, but I love it. Everyday I get paid to be with soldiers, being there for them through the good and the bad. More

So we had a fantastic conference at our latest Awesome conference, with our main speaker Jackie Searle, helping us think how to prepare and live out the potential God has given us. She inspired us with her three main sessions, from the parable of the talents on being who you are, speaking on Joseph and living the dream, on Paul and Timothy and rekindling the flame. We were given a candle to remind us of the light that can be seen by the smallest flame up to 2 miles away. We were given threads to weave together, representing, God’s providence, our personality and the powers that affect our lives. Finally today we were given a piece of kindling wood and time to ponder what in our lives needed to be re-lit. Thank you Jackie you were an inspiration, in the words you shared, and the way you shared them, weaving together inspirational biblical teaching and applying that into your own life.
