The clue is in the way that "after identifying candidates will be invited to apply" to be in the talent pool: identified by whom? according to what criteria? This is not innovation or improvement, all it proposes is setting in stone the current system of nudges, winks and buggins-turn. As for talent or matching gifts to a particular diocese, forget it: the memorable description of the CCA giving an opportunity to "chuck dead cats over your neighbour's wall" will still hold good.<br />And the suggestion of an MBA for clergy (syllabus TBA) is laughable.<br />This report is the establishment trying to dress-up and justify what unjustifiable at a cost of over £2m for starters and then ongoing of £0.8m per year - and I expect both those figures to be well under what the real cost will be.<br />This is displacement activity on a grand scale: the pews are emptying, the church if riven with factions but hey, lets rearrange the deck-chairs and claim an innovative 'spirit-led' change even as our particular titanic sinks beneath the waves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
