Transforming Ministry Magazine Digital Edition
FAQs
What do I need to tell our Readers/LLMs?
The digital edition of Transforming Ministry was announced in the Winter 2020 edition of the magazine (p.36) so many of your Readers/LLMs will already know about this. Now would be a good time to share some encouraging good news and inform them that, for 2021, subscribers through the diocesan scheme will have free access to the digital edition and all the added value material on the website.
- Page-turning pdfs of each new edition
- Option to read online or download to read offline
- Fully indexed and searchable archive of Transforming Ministry (and its predecessor The Reader)
- Over 500 book reviews plus extended reviews not available in the printed magazine
- Online-only material such as seasonal resources and Advent and Lent features.
You will need to explain that to access this material they will need to register on the www.transformingministry.co.uk website using the voucher code in the Chaplain’s email.
You might want to mention that an individual Print + Digital subscription to Transforming Ministry for 2021 is £15, i.e. the diocese is giving them a gift worth £15 towards their continuing ministerial development.
When should I contact my Readers / LLMs
You could do it now. It might also be helpful to remind them about the free access to the online material at the beginning of January when the Spring 2021 edition of the printed Transforming Ministry magazine arrives through their letterboxes.
What exactly will Readers/LLMs have to do to subscribe and gain access?

What will happen for digital magazine subscriptions in 2022?
It is too early to predict whether we will be able to continue this offer into future years. It may be necessary to ask individual Readers to pay an upgrade fee if they wish to retain access to the digital options.
