Annual Reader Return

Readers are granted special permission to officiate by the Bishops. As a part of this Readers must complete an Annual Return. This document helps Readers reflect on their ministry, including activities and training undertaken that year. Download the latest form, to be completed and returned by 28 February 2012. 

Church of England Readers

The Church of England Readers website is well worth exploring. It features latest news, events, resources and information, as well as the Reader Forum where you can ask fellow Readers for ideas, discover creative liturgies, seek help with resources or even ask for help with sermons.
