Ordained Ministry: Applications for Postulancy Interviews
The Commission on Ministry (COM) conducts interviews for postulancy on a rolling basis. Applications require the endorsement of the Priest in Charge (or Senior Warden in Charge). If you are a Priest in Charge or Senior Warden in charge of a congregation, and you expect to endorse a person’s application, please notify Canon Barbara Martin. If there is a person in your congregation who is interested in discernment, please contact the Venerable Aaron Perkins first to learn about best practices.
