Deliverance Ministry in the Diocese of Chichester is part of the wider pastoral care of the Church and is always carried out in line with national House of Bishops’ guidance and safeguarding processes. Clergy re reminded that this ministry should only be undertaken under the direction of the Bishop’s Advisor, who offers support and guidance to those involved.

The task of the Advisor is to support clergy in their ministry, which might involve simply listening and offering advice on how to proceed. In other instances, a member of the team will arrange to visit in person, ministering alongside the parish clergy. Occasionally, and especially when there is no connection with the church, referrals might be made directly to the team.
Canon Simon Holland is the Bishop’s Advisor and therefore is the first point of contact for this ministry.
