Update from the New Rector Search Committee - 1/28/2021

The search for a new Rector is officially “live” on the church wide Office of Transition Ministry (OTM) database. The Canon for Transition, Canon Vanessa Stickler Glass, has placed our documents onto the website through Dianne Draper, the Executive Administrator for the Office of the Bishop. Plus, Canon Vanessa will submit the open position to the Episcopal News Service, post it on the Colorado clergy Facebook page and two other FB groups that she belongs to. This announcement will stay active for about 6 weeks (March 8, 2021 is the deadline). Once she receives all the applications from clergy around the US, she will look them over and send the applications to us for the interview process to begin.

We are planning to start the interviews right after Easter (April 4) via Zoom and will narrow the applicants down to three for our Vestry to interview and finalize. Between now and Easter, the Search Committee will be hard at work to determine the best questions to ask during the interviews to ensure that we pick the best candidates for the new Rector position. Part of that process will be meeting with Canon Vanessa and a settled priest in the Diocese via Zoom to perform a mock interview, so the Search Committee is more comfortable with the interview process.

All the best from our Committee and when there are updates to pass on to the members of the congregation, we will definitely keep you informed.
