The Peter Stream is a one-year programme to be undertaken whilst in the existing Church of England discernment process and is designed to identify and encourage gifts and calling in people from the three most under-represented groups.

Why THE Peter Stream?

Our vision is to see a generation of church leadership that reflects and inspires the diversity of the body of Christ. 

Our mission is to love, support and champion people through discernment, focusing on the three most under-represented groups, namely racial, social and educational. 

What does it focus on?

Discernment

Exploring areas designed to encourage and inspire, whilst discerning God’s calling.

Teaching

Theological content that is faith-enriching and discernment-relevant.

Support

Access to a range of support including a personal tutor, chaplaincy, counselling, and specialist educational tutoring.

Community

Embedded in a close and diverse community of peers.

Roundtable series
