How are vicars chosen for a parish?

I go to church only occasionally and notice our vicar has moved on. The curate is standing in.

I guess it would be a plumb job for the right person. Nice busy parish.

So how do they recruit a new vicar and what timescale?

Cheers for that. There's a young guy I know who is a vicar - married us did my Dads funeral - who would fit the job perfectly. I was wondering if it would be in order to suggest him.

A top bloke who would really stir the parish up - in a good way.

Do you attend Church regularly ?

Now and then. It comes and goes and depends on the priest. I know I shouldn't look at it that way but if you get the right vicar a place can be Transformed.

My wife is a non believer but the guy I was talking about even got her involved in church activities from the angle of helping the community neighbours etc rather than religion.


Our recently retired vicar was a nice enough guy but I didn't really gell with him so attended less and less.
