Do I Need a License to Offer Ministry in The Anglican Diocese of Calgary?
The Diocese of Calgary launched the new Licensed Lay Ministry program in 2019, in which some ministry activities will require a license for the first time. This has been a source of confusion and anxiety for people in the Diocese: what kinds of lay ministries will need licenses now?
This page and the links below will hopefully bring clarity to this question.
Please don’t worry. The intention isn’t to cut off parishes from the valuable and valued ministry of their lay people. It is instead to enhance and invest in lay ministries for the future.
The Calgary School for Discipleship is the training arm of the Licensed Lay Ministry Program.
