A Spiritual and Practical Guide through the Search Process

Purchase On:

This clear, beautifully written tool for congregations engaged in the discernment and search process is a balanced combination of spiritual reflection and practical advice, born of the author's extensive experience as a Transition Ministry Officer in the Episcopal.

The bonus of additional Appendix material, including a sample congregational questionnaire and other invaluable resources, makes Calling Clergy a must-read book for parish search committees, vestry members, and other parish leaders.

“Elizabeth displays how 'normative' approaches to the search process are inadequate to the actual needs of the Church. There is deep discernment here for how to recognize and match vocation and ministry.”

– Michael Battle

“This book is an invaluable tool for those who seek to be faithful to the spirit's guidance while making use of the church's best practices in seeking, finding and celebrating new ministries.”

– Bishop George Councell
