Congregational Goals for Interim periods:
- For the congregation to see itself as the people of God with or without a rector
- For the congregation to clarify or re-define its identity and sense of direction
- For the congregation to identify the gifts it has to move in the desired direction and the gifts that it needs from a priest
- For the congregation to find a priest with the desired gifts
A mantra for all congregations in clergy transitions:
"We have a saviour, we need a priest"
|
Steps in the transition process:
- Preparation
- Self Study
- Clergy Search
- Discernment
- Discernment to Call
- Mutual Ministry
A brochure outlining the steps can be downloaded HERE. Set up for double sided printed, folded in thirds.
|
Goals of the Diocese of Newark Deployment office:
- To help congregations do transitions well, rather than simply accomplish steps quickly.
- To help clergy discern and find the ministries to which God is calling them
- To engage entire congregations with:
- Self definition and direction
- Priorities for next priest
- Praying
- Seeking names of possible matches
- To help congregations maximize the number of potential matches, rather than the number of clergy names
- To help congregations and clergy seek the best match, rather than the best priest or the best congregation
