In the Diocese of Ely, there has always been a strong emphasis on lay ministry with many different 'authorised' and 'licensed' ministry pathways that are available. A number of people have come together to develop Authorised Local Leadership which is currently emerging across the diocese (it is sometimes referred to as Focal Ministry in other dioceses). This ministry pathway is rooted in the local context with a flexibility around the training offered. You can read more about Authorised Local Leadership here.
