The Church should be a place where we affirm the dignity and worth of each individual, and where we live out the theological concepts of accountability, redemption, justice, compassion and the good stewardship of resources.
The two churchwardens and the incumbent are the trustees of the parish. They act jointly and in consultation with each other in many human resources matters.
This section divides parish HR topics into two sections. Churchwardens and clergy can use both:
- Human Resources for Clergy: resources and policies about clergy as office holders
- Human Resources for Parishes: resources and guidelines about parish employees and volunteers
Human Resources for Clergy specifically addresses:
- Human Resources manual
- Liturgical Standards and Resources
- Vacancies & calls
- New to the Diocese
- Momentum
- Fresh Start
- Professional development
- Remuneration and benefits (active)
- Remuneration and benefits (retired)
- Retirement planning
- Part-time clergy
- Selecting a new incumbent
- Leaves of absence
- Wellness & Employee Assistance Program
- Retreat centres
These policies and resources will also help you:
- Health and safety
- Sexual Misconduct Policy
- Responsible Ministry: Screening in Faith
- Leaving your current appointment: information and resources for clergy transition
