The newly formed Church of Ireland Children’s Ministry Network met
for their second meeting recently at the RB in Dublin. The committee has
been created by Standing Committee to explore the needs of children’s
ministry in the Church of Ireland. The group is being chaired by Peter
Hamill, Diocesan Training Co-ordinator for Connor Diocese and is made up
of a nominated representatives from each of the twelve dioceses plus representatives
from the Boards of Education and CIYD and a co-opted member of the Sunday
School Society.
The Children’s Ministry Network hope to increase the profile of children’s
ministry in the Church of Ireland and look at ways leaders can be supported
in this vital ministry. Peter Hamill (chair) said ‘It is wonderful
to see the passion and enthusiasm for children’s ministry from the
diocesan representatives and we look forward to finding practical ways
of encouraging and helping leaders in children’s ministry’.
The aim is that the diocesan representatives will be able to provide resources
and to support those involved in children’s ministry within their
dioceses.
The diocesan representatives are Rev Barry Paine (Armagh), Rev James Mulhall
(Cashel & Ossory), Rev Henry Blair (Clogher), Margaret Fullerton (Connor),
Rev Anne Skuse (Cork), Tammi Peek (Derry & Raphoe), Julie Currie (Down & Dromore),
