For the ordination process, vocational discernment, and matters related to the Commission on Ministry, the lead contact is Dean of Clergy, the Rev. Louise Howlett.
Registration and logistics for the March COM retreat are being handled by Operations and Event Administrator Kathy Traynor.
Safe Church, background checks, and youth formation remain in the hands of my associate, Youth Formation and Safe Church Coordinator George Swenson.
For matters where formation meets congregational development, including the diocese’s relationship with the Iona Collaborative, connect with Canon to the Ordinary Tina Pickering.
For the School for Ministry:Currently enrolled students, please contact SFM faculty member and interim SFM lead the Rev. Steve Rugg, or your instructor.
