As the time approaches for ordination services in our churches and cathedrals, Roy Jenkins explores what it is that leads people to pursue a vocation with the church as a minister or priest. People serve the church in a variety of ways - whether as local or lay preachers, worship leaders, pastoral visitors and church musicians. But when it comes to working as an ordained minister or priest, the hours can be long. And the pay isn’t all that great either. Some aren’t even paid at all. In this programme we hear from those who have taken the plunge. Their stories are very different. Some have heard a distinct calling at a young age; others have struggled with it. Then there’s the testing of that calling and the in-depth training that follows, culminating in the ordination day itself. Our guests; ordinands Natasha Quinn Thomas, Sarah Elson, Michael Winwood and the Revd Alexis Mahoney. The Revd Fr Dominic Cawdell, Vicar of Holywell; The Revd Fr David Morris, Director of Ordinands, Diocese of Llandaff, Church in Wales.
