At the Bishop’s request, the Committee on Discernment meets to interview those seeking ordination and reports its observations and recommendations to him. Its reports become one source of information for the Bishop in deciding whether the person continues in the ordination process. The Committee also discusses and advises the Church in Vermont on general issues having to do with ordained ministry.
Resources offered by the Committee on Discernment include:
The current chairperson of the Committee is The Rev. Dr. Lee Alison Crawford cosvicar@vermontel.net (802) 422-9064
