Walkabout at St. Thomas for Clergy Only

Dear Friends,

The upcoming clergy panel discussion on Tuesday, January 15, at St. Thomas, Temecula, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., will differ slightly from the other five Walkabout events.

Our candidates will sit together as a panel. Each will make a brief introduction focused on their experience of clergy/bishop relationships and what each candidate believes our clergy need to know about them.

Next, the moderator will ask questions of the candidates that have been submitted by our clergy. You are invited to submit questions to rector@stpaulsps.org until Monday, January 14 at 12 p.m.

The transition committee is suggesting questions from four different areas:

These are not proscriptive, but aspirational. We would like questions that invite candidates to offer their best as we discern together, along with our lay delegates, whom we believe God is calling to be the fifth bishop of San Diego.

We have some questions from clergy already and we need more. The transition committee will select the best questions to enhance our discernment. The most useful questions will allow our candidates to offer their best understanding of themselves and their ministries. Each of our candidates have offered themselves to our process in good faith and our questions will honor the best of their–and our–good faith.

Faithfully,

The Rev. Andrew Green
