On June 15 the Search Committee met and made good progress on drafting answers for Vocation Hub, the Episcopal Church's official, churchwide digital platform for managing clergy placement, ministry transitions, and vocational discernment.  We have also begun adding photos to the Parish Profile draft.

June 1, 2026

The committee has been meeting via Zoom every other week since April 20 and is making substantial progress on the Parish Profile.

On June 1, we met via Zoom with The Rev. Canon Dr. Robert T. Phillips of the Office of Deployment in the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona. Canon Phillips introduced us to Vocation Hub, the Episcopal Church's official, churchwide digital platform for managing clergy placement, ministry transitions, and vocational discernment. He walked us through the template of questions we are required to answer on Vocation Hub, and the committee is currently working on drafting those responses.

We are scheduled to meet with Canon Phillips in person on July 13, at which time he will review our Parish Profile draft and our draft responses to the Vocation Hub questions.
