Diaconal Ministry Working Group Question to community ministry respondents:

Diaconal Ministry Working Group Observations: Diaconal Ministers understand their gifts of ministry differently than how others see them. While high level of job satisfaction by Diaconal Ministers also concern about the way Diaconal Ministers are valued. Diaconal Ministers are especially, although not uniquely, prepared to provide leadership to the emerging church. Discernment Committees and Education and Students Committees there is commonly a lack of knowledge about Diaconal Ministry

Diaconal Ministry Working Group Recommendations: policies and procedures relating to granting sacramental license should be consistent and equitable across the church Expand Presbytery-Recognized Ministry to include positions where the supporting agency is not in a covenanted relationship with a presbytery The M&E Unit ensure that the Program Coordinator for Recruitment is knowledgeable about Diaconal Ministry Ensure resources for recruitment and discernment include information about Diaconal Ministry and creating diaconal positions with Presbytery Recognized Ministries.

Diaconal Ministry Working Group Recommendations (con’t) Track whether Diaconal Ministers are finding positions in non-pastoral charge roles now that settlement is no longer mandatory The M&E Unit review pastoral relations resource documents to ensure that those engaged in pastoral relations are aware of options related to Diaconal Ministry. That PC MEPS explore the possibility of implementing a program which will provide a stipend or wage during their field placement for Candidates from the Centre for Christian Studies and the Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre
