Worship. Religious instruction
Worship. A curate needs to share in corporate prayer and worship, not only with the congregation, but also with the incumbent and other colleagues. Times and occasions for this daily/weekly prayer time together need to be clearly stated. There should be a regular opportunity to share in the design and leading of worship, and in preaching. Agreement needs to be reached regarding the frequency of preaching (twice a month to begin with is suggested for stipendiary/full time curates) and it is desirable that the curate's sermons should be reviewed with the incumbent and with other colleagues and lay people where appropriate. In addition to participating in corporate prayer and worship the curate should be encouraged to develop a personal prayer life which can be sustained when alone. To this end the acquisition of a spiritual director/soul friend/personal consultant is deemed to be essential, as is a quiet time/retreat at least once a year. Encouragement should also be given to enable personal, as distinct from professional, reading to be developed.
