Publication – History of the Local Ministry Pathway in the Diocese of Oxford

The Centre is delighted to announce the publication of History of the Local Ministry Pathway in the Diocese of Oxford by Phillip Tovey.

This book looks at the history of theological education for laity and ministry in the Diocese of Oxford. While there are a few histories of colleges, there is almost nothing on Reader training and on Local Ministry. This book tells the story from the inside and includes voices of the participants.

Phillip Tovey worked for twenty four years in theological and ministerial education for the Diocese of Oxford, eventually becoming the Principal of the Local Ministry Pathway and Warden of Licensed Lay Ministers. He has published many books and articles in the areas of history, theology and liturgy. He is now retired in the diocese.
