When a priest begins a new ministry, a Licensing or Institution service is usually held.
The Diocesan template for such a service, along with some guidelines (especially for Churchwardens and Rural Deans), is linked below.
For further information please speak to your Archdeacon or the Office of the Bishop who will be taking the service.
