Bishop seeks to attract more young Christians to priesthood
From ChristianToday.com
The Bishop of Lichfield is encouraging young Christians mulling their future course in life to consider becoming a priest in the Church of England.
The Rt Rev Jonathan Gledhill today launched a recruitment drive across the Diocese of Lichfield to increase the number of 18 to 35-year-olds offering themselves for full-time service in the Church.
His message to young Christians is: “Don’t settle for anything less than God’s best.”
“One of the most satisfying careers of all is to spend one’s creative energies in building Christian community: in preaching and teaching the Christian faith, leading worship, making new disciples, transforming communities,” the bishop told reporters.
“It is a way to become rich beyond one’s wildest dreams; not financially but in every other way, as all the surveys show.”
