Exciting opportunities within the Ethos Group are available to support the formation of new resources for the Methodist Church.
The Ethos Group is charged with scrutinising draft materials (physical or digital) to ensure that what the Church says is authentically Methodist. To fulfil its purpose, the Ethos Group requires a Convenor.
Expressions of interest are invited from lay and ordained members of the Methodist Church in Britain. The Ethos Group is crucial for ensuring diversity in the Church’s resources, and so aims to demonstrate diversity amongst its membership. We particularly welcome applications from minority ethnic members of the Church.
For an informal conversation about the work of the Ethos Group, please contact Anne Montefiore, Commissioning Editor.
