The Joint Board is forming a Transition Committee of both clergy and lay, who are team players, well-organized, and able to make a significant time commitment. In addition to monthly Zoom team meetings and Zoom subcommittee meetings as needed, the Transition Committee will plan the meet-and-greets with bishop nominees candidates, plan the electing convention, assist in planning the consecration weekend, including the liturgy, receptions, and other activities, and support the candidates and eventual bishop-elect as we walk through this process together. Following the election, the Transition Committee will assist the bishop-elect and their family as they transition from their current ministry to the Diocese.
Particular skills essential to the committee include:
- Leadership
- Oral and written communications
- Proficiency with technology used in virtual meetings and document sharing
- Hospitality and spiritual care
- Liturgy planning
- Event planning
We will be accepting nominations beginning October 20. Watch this space for an online nomination form. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Joint Board at jointboard@ecww.org.
