Answering your call to Anglican ordination and what to expect from the discernment process

Raymond Baudon (Assistant Diocesan Director of Ordination for Southwark Diocese) talks us through what the journey to priesthood may look like; from initial discernment to the national ordination selection process. In this video, Raymond chats about his own journey to priesthood before explaining, step by step, how potential ordinands can go about answering their call and what that formal process looks like. While his insights relate to the Southwark Diocese specifically, there's lots of useful information to be found about pursuing the call to ordination. 0:00 – How Raymond supports people to answer their calling 1:32 – Raymond’s journey to Priesthood 2:53 – Exploring your calling through the vocation forum 5:21 – The new national selection process for ordination 7:09 – How ordination candidates are assessed -- Interested in learning more about your call to priesthood?
