Mutual Ministry Review (as outlined in the Letter of Agreement)

The Clergy and Vestry/Mission Committee agree to an annual discussion and mutual review of the total ministry of the congregation.  It is suggested they engage a third party to facilitate the Mutual Ministry Review. The results of this review will be reported in writing to the Bishop/Ecclesiastical Authority. The purpose of this review is to:

1.                  Provide the Clergy and Vestry/Mission Committee the opportunity to assess how well they are fulfilling their responsibilities to each other and to the ministries they share;

2.                  Evaluate goals set at the previous mutual ministry review;

3.                  Establish goals for the work of the congregation for the coming year;

4.                  Isolate areas of conflict or disappointment that have not been resolved and may be adversely affecting mutual ministry; and

5.                  Clarify expectations of all parties so that future conflicts may be diminished or avoided.

 For information and to engage a trained facilitator for Mutual Ministry Review contact the Rev. Canon Britt Olson, canonbritt@dncweb.org.
