SEARCH QUEEN'S VLE ANGLICAN OPEN DAYS FIND US Home What Training for Ordained Ministry Church of England If you believe God may be calling you to ordained ministry in the Church of England, the first step is to talk to your local clergy. If they support your sense of call and have put you in touch with the Director of Ordinands for your diocese (your DDO), then a visit to Queen’s as a possible place to train for ordination could be one of your next steps. For general information about ministry in the Church of England and the vocation process please consult the Church of England website. If you are selected by the Church for training, we will be pleased to offer you a place at Queen’s. We will work with you and your DDO (within the Church of England’s framework for deciding on training pathways) to determine the most appropriate form of training and academic programme. This is based on factors such as the form of ministry you are sponsored for, your previous education or training, your age, the financial, family or other factors that affect your availability, and so on.
