6 V2 12 July 2011 Appendix Generic Role Purpose and Responsibilities for Benefice Incumbents This document sets out some expectations for an incumbent in the Diocese of Chelmsford. All role descriptions are expected to develop over time with changes approved with the authority of the Bishop through the MDR process. Role Purpose and Key Responsibilities Section 2 of the Role Description aims to answer the following questions: What is the role intended to achieve? What would not get done if the role did not exist? The purpose of the role is to be stated in two parts, (i) general and (ii) specific. (i) General Statement of Purpose All incumbents are Priests in the Church of England whose responsibilities and duties are set out in the Ordinal. Incumbents are additionally licensed by the Bishop to exercise a shared ministry of leadership in a particular context where they will usually be the representative, public face of the church. The general statement of purpose in the document is phrased according to the tradition of the church. It includes reference to any Diocesan, Deanery or Benefice vision, mission or purpose statements, and the following: 4. The provision of worship, administration of the Sacraments, preaching, education, pastoral care, nurture, service, evangelism and leadership that is both Kingdom focussed and a locally relevant response to the Five Marks of Mission in order that: a. each worshipping congregation is a transforming presence in and for their local community and is connected with the wider church and world, and b. the vocational gifts and ministries of the whole people of God are discerned, developed and deployed. 5. The collaborative exercise of leadership with the Bishop, other clergy and lay people in the benefice, deanery and diocese to further God s mission and ministry. 6. The blend of congregational, local community, and wider civic, social and/or church involvement that every licensed clergy person is expected to exercise. (ii) Specific Statement of Purpose and Key Responsibilities The following eight sections summarise the main duties and responsibilities of an incumbent. The balance between what is done personally and what is delegated will vary widely but in every case the responsibility for ensuring these things are addressed lies with the incumbent (in some cases jointly with the PCC). The exercise of ministry should always be collaborative and make use of the gifts entrusted by God to his people in each particular place. In many of these responsibilities, it is important to have in mind the demography and geography of the benefice so that the appropriate needs of different ages, backgrounds and stages of faith can be addressed.
