Diocesan Healing Advisory Group
The Healing Advisory Group is a voluntary group within the diocese that aims to support and inspire both lay and clergy within our parishes in Christ’s work of wholeness and healing for individuals, churches and communities. It seeks to provide a prophetic voice that speaks to both the wider Church and society on matters of wholeness and healing.
A list of the current members is below. We would love to hear from you so please get in touch about healing ministry training, healing ministry in your parish, ideas for healing forums or events, news articles or requests for information or ideas.
