Community Updates in the Search for a Rector at St. Paul's
Nov. 24, 2019
With the pertinent materials relating to St. Paul’s rector search in the hands of the Diocese, the Search Committee turns its attention to preparing for applications! This involves using the congregation’s priorities as set forth in congregational workshops and surveys, the parish profile, and the Vestry’s “job description” as criteria to determine the applicant’s “fit,” and thus formulate a “short list” of candidates to interview.
Before the applications reach the Search Committee’s hands, however, the process involves the Bishop's office screening the applicants to confirm that each is a priest in good standing in his/her respective Diocese, with the Bishop approving all applicants prior to our receiving the applications. This initial screening process both assures a solid slate of qualified candidates and also facilitates the bishop's approval when the Vestry calls the rector.
