Discernment is a set of practices to determine God’s will in our lives. Discernment has both individual and communal aspects; That is to say, it is about the individual, the community of the church, and the movement of the spirit. If you feel God is calling you to a new form of ministry, speak to your rector or vicar about forming a local discernment committee. Check out the links below for discernment resources:
Discernment for Ordained Ministry
I am thinking about ordained ministry and I wish to submit a form to begin the process!
Assessments for COM, Standing Committee, and Bishop
I am a member of COM, standing committee, or the bishop and need to submit an assessment.
Supporting Others in Discernment for Ordained Ministry
Someone I know is thinking about ordained ministry and I wish to submit a form for them. e.g., if you are a vestry or bishop’s committee, lay discernment committee, sponsoring priest, personal reference, seminary staff or faculty, CPE supervisor, field ed supervisor, etc.
Discernment for Lay Ministry
I am thinking about lay ministry and would like to learn more about opportunities in the diocese. For lay licensing, or to learn about other opportunities in the Diocese contact the vocations.
