Catford and Bromley Synagogue is inviting applications for an “enthusiastic minister to inspire the community”, which its chair believes has the potential for growth.

The United Synagogue-affiliated shul of around 230 families is looking for a part-time minister to succeed Rev David Rome, who served the South London community for close to a decade.

Catford and Bromley chair Joe Burchell was “very keen” to progress recruitment for the post, which comes with a four-bedroom house.

The shul’s membership decline in recent years has been attributed to an ageing congregation and economic factors.
