Topics covered include: the ministry of the vestry, leading a community of faith, origins of conflict, stewardship, and navigating transitions in clergy leadership. In addition to loads of practical information, you’ll also find helpful biblically based personal and vestry reflection questions.

“I organize our diocese’s vestry academy every year, and I can tell you that The Vestry Resource Guide is always one of our favorite handouts at the event. The format is user-friendly. Plus, it helps vestry members learn exactly what their responsibilities are, especially in terms of their relationship with their rectors. Our bishop and diocesan staff spend time with the vestries at these events, and The Vestry Resource Guide always receives glowing reviews from everyone involved.”
