Further to the request in the Living Ministry study If it Wasn’t for God for additional therapeutic support,
and aware that it is not always possible to seek support from a colleague or related institution, the Church of England has engaged the Churches’ Ministerial Counselling Service (CMCS) to provide independent, confidential, non-directive support to all GMH/UKME clergy, ordinands and lay ministers, beyond that provided by dioceses, TEIs or otherwise.
