New Appointments web pages
With appointments season, the EPA Conference website now has a new Appointments section that announces new Appointments, Clergy Retirees and Open Churches that are seeking pastoral appointments. Also, included are resources and supportive content:
- 2016 Book of Discipline paragraphs (425-430) on Appointments
- Our Appointment Mission Values
- Our Appointment Practices, including steps, principles and practices
- Resources to Assist in Pastoral Transitions for Clergy and Churches
The Appointment Mission Values and Practices are drawn from Bishop John Schol’s letter to clergy Jan. 25 outlining details of his all-clergy meeting held via Zoom Jan. 24.
As new appointments, pastoral openings and retiree names are received weekly, they will be posted to this section on Sundays at 1 PM. Clergy are invited to indicate their interest in new pastoral openings to their district superintendents by Monday at 9 AM, so superintendents can share that information at weekly Cabinet meetings on Tuesdays.
