Whether you're a new vestry member or a seasoned veteran, the newly revised Vestry Resource Guide is essential reading. With a deliberate focus on the importance of lay and clergy leadership teams, you'll find comprehensive information and advice about the ministry of the vestry, leading faith communities, stewardship, and navigating clergy transitions. Also available in Spanish or for download. Developed in partnership with Episcopal Church Foundation.
The guide covers broad concepts to help give direction and reminders to members of the vestry. As someone who is newly elected it shed some light on the responsibilities and goals of the position. When you read it, it becomes apparent this is intended for group discussion and not as much of a guide for new members to the vestry as the preface may lead one to beleive.
