criteria
Vocation; Ministry within the Scottish Episcopal Church; Spirituality; Personality and Character; Relationships; Leadership and Collaboration; Faith; Mission and Evangelism; Quality of Mind.
These are the 9 areas that I may expect questions on at tomorrow evening's Provincial Advisory Panel. I am looking forward to the evening; it will be an opportunity to meet with other people putting themselves through the discernment process and I hope that it will also give me the chance to 'get to know' the SEC more - something that is very important to us if we are to (potentially) give our lives to serving God within this denomination.
You know when you've been PAP'd...
Hope it goes well

Good luck. Sounds a bit like Anakin before the Jedi Council ;-).

Hi Nick, Kelvin introduced me (and the rest of his Blog readers) to your blog a while back.
Thought I'd comment this post since my brother is going along a similar track to you.
I was just wondering where you had heard about this event and what's involved?

Hi Doug. The "event" is one of the stages in the selection process. In that respect it is something that every candidate will go through if/when their director of ordinands/bishop/provincial director of ordinands make the decision that the time is 'right'.
My reference to the fact that I will meet with other candidates is due to the fact that 3 or 4 candidates attend these panels.
Hope this helps!

Yea that does help, thankyou. Gordon knew about it but he said he wasn't at that stage yet.
