Christ Church Oxford, the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, the Dean and Canons of Windsor and the Bishop of Oxford seek a priest as Rector of the Damascus Parish.
We are a welcoming single parish with five churches in the semi-rural Oxfordshire villages of Drayton, Appleford, Milton, Sutton Courtenay and Steventon, which lie between Abingdon and Didcot.
We are praying for a Rector with a strong personal faith who listens well, cares deeply, and has a sense of humour.
We are looking for a leader of vision who will engage with our communities, encourage lay involvement and work well with the existing ministry team and congregations.
We are offering a supportive lay and ordained ministry team, two churchwardens, one PCC, significant paid administrative support and a well appointed four-bedroom house in a quiet close in Sutton Courtenay.
