John Witcombe

From 1998-2005 John Witcombe was the Dean of St John's College, Nottingham where he was responsible for training those preparing for ordination. In 2005 he was appointed as Director of Ordinands and Curate Training in the Diocese of Gloucester, and in 2010 became Director of Discipleship and Ministry and Residentiary Canon of Gloucester Cathedral. He has twenty five years' experience of ordained ministry in a wide variety of church traditions and social contexts and is the editor of The Curate's Guide.

To those seeking helpful advice and clear thinking about the journey to ordination and the day-to-day realities of parish ministry, this guide is of inestimable value. -- Canon Professor Martyn Percy, Principal, Ripon College
