An
Update from the Search Committee…
We have narrowed our search down to 2 wonderfully
qualified candidates. We can tell you both are men. Here's what will
happen next:
1. The search
committee will discern one candidate to present to the vestry.
2. The vestry votes on
whether to approve the candidate.
3. The wardens call the
bishop to inform him of our choice.
4. The bishop calls his
counterpart in the candidate’s diocese as a final step in the vetting
process.
5. The wardens call the
candidate and offer the position.
6. The candidate
discerns whether it is the right fit for him and hopefully accepts.
7. The rector is
announced to the parish!!
Everything prior to step #7 is confidential. The
search committee and vestry cannot discuss any specifics until our new rector
is confirmed. The process will probably take 2 to 6 weeks. (The bishop is on
vacation in August which may delay everything slightly.)
We are excited and will let you know as soon as we
know. Thank you for your patience and please continue to pray that the Holy
Spirit will guide our hearts and minds in these final steps in our search.
