April 5, 2024 Rector Search Begins

  • Opening Announced
  • Bishop, Cannon to the Ordinary, and Consultant
  • Search Readiness Assessment
  • Nominating Committee Appointed

The Diocese of Atlanta Leadership Transition Flowchart reflects the major steps to be accomplished in sequence to call our new Rector. Periodic reference will be made to this flow chart to measure the progress by the Vestry and the Nominating Committee. Currently we have called Bill Harkins to be our Interim Priest in Charge; met with the Diocese Canon to the Ordinary, Alicia Schuster Weltner; called our search process consultant the Rev. Scott Kidd from the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection in Sautee, GA; completed the Search Readiness Assessment; and appointed the Nominating Committee. The next major step is the administration of a parish survey using a Congregational Assessment Tool (CAT) provided by Holy Cow Consultants. The CAT is a customizable assessment instrument that:

  •  Measures the level of satisfaction and energy in the congregation.
  •  Identifies the critical success factors for improving organizational climate.
  •  Pinpoints the strengths of your congregation’s culture.
  •  Discovers where members would like to go in the future.
  •  Gauges readiness for change.
  •  Uncovers potential resources you may be missing.

Prepares us for a search for your next Rector.

Completion of the CAT survey will be essential for our future parish life and the success of our search for a new Rector. I look forward to reporting future progress and welcome your questions! Phil Anderson, Senior Warden
