Do independent clergy all run their own regular churches?
No. Very much like the Church of England there is a total mixture. Some do have regularly worshiping communities, and act as Chaplains to a wide variety of organisations. Some are ‘worker priests’ who work and live out their ministry in their normal daily workplaces, whilst taking occasional Services as required. Others travel widely around the country ‘on-call’ to minister wherever there is need. Some live in monastic communities. Yet others work mainly for their church organisations providing central services, advice and pastoral care to other clergy. Many combine more than one of these types of role. Many have private chapels where they can accommodate a small number for prayer.
