The Rector Search Process

A Rector Search Process has many intricate parts.  

  • There is the saying goodbye to old friends and old ways. 
  • There is the freedom to dream about new places and new paths.
  • There is the excitement of meeting new people and listening to their hopes and             visions.
  • There is the seeking of God’s will for the People of God.
  • There is the welcoming and incorporating new faces and new lives into the                  renewed life of the parish.

    The Episcopal Diocese of Texas has had a long history of helping parishes seek God’s will in the finding of  new rectors.  With this long history comes experience of what works and what does not work. Trust of this experience . . . trust of the process . . . time after time yields positive outcomes.
