I am the pastor, the carer, the listener the one with the time to drop everything and I also understand global politics and immigration and I am the one who knows about Afghanistan and cares about \u2018our boys\u2019 and I care about speed-humps graffiti litter and the positioning of zebra crossings near schools. I am passionate about school assemblies council meetings mums and toddlers and also I am good at one-to-one and small groups and I listen and empathise and at the same time I am the one who plans and strategizes and I am the one who understands budgets and decides if we can buy any staples or replace the heating system. I am the vicar, I am. I am the quiet reflective prayer and I am the speaker, the enthuser, the motivator, the learned teacher and I can engage a room of 10, 50, 300 people with no problem because I am the one who relates particularly well to children older people the middle-aged the jobless the employed the doctors teenagers and I am the one who is always one step ahead and I am the one who is endearingly disorganised. I am the vicar, I am. I care passionately about church politics I care passionately about domestic abuse I care passionately about the plight of Anglo Catholics women priests gay clergy evangelicals and I listen to the pope the archbishop and Rob Bell. I am up-to-date with theological developments. I understand the history of the reformation the armed forces the war the government the deanery the Jewish background of Jesus and I care about the excluded and I manage my admin and I know how to access children\u2019s services. I am the vicar, I am. I am the one in whom trust is placed I am the one in whom grumbles are placed I am the one who is always talking to everyone else I am the one who models worship marriage family gardening conversation baking prayer listening talking planning. I often get it wrong. I am the one who has to keep my doubts under wraps and I am also the one who is vulnerable and dependable stable trustworthy. I am the one who chairs meetings I am the one who manages group discussions I am the manager of an organisation that employs only me I am the volunteer co-ordinator the opinion co-ordinator the trespasser on the territory of people who have been around a lot longer than me and will be there after me. I understand the heating system the financial system the rota system. I love committees. I drink tea with older people And coffee with younger people I listen to stories of bus routes and hospital visits and I believe in transforming our community through the power of Jesus. I am the one who is very tired. I am the one who hates wearing dresses but still smiles and would love to be muddy all the time. I am the one who only works one day a week. I am the one who loves this job. I am the one who is making it up as I go along. I am the one who would not swap this for anything. I am the vicar, I am."}
