A Message from the Holy Nativity School and Church Mission Possible Group
MISSION POSSIBLE
Since mid-April 2018 the Holy Nativity Vestry (the governing board of the church) and the Holy Nativity School Board along with the head of school and the priests of the church, have been meeting with a consultant three or four times a month to revisit the church-school relationship. Their purpose has been to renew, refresh and reestablish, thus clarifying our connection and responsibilities and ensuring accountability. Throughout these past nine months we have stayed focused on our stated objective, dubbed "Mission Possible: Developing relationships and structures for improved cooperation and mission accomplishment." We divided our work into three large sections: Mission, Governance and Finance, each with considerable discussion and documentation. We believe the working document, running 50+ pages, achieves our goal.
What will happen next? Our school and our parish will hire an attorney to rewrite our Bylaws so that they accurately reflect the decisions documented by the work group. This effort will take several weeks so can expect a roll-out in March or April. Meanwhile, the Search Committee for a new Rector will revise the Parish Profile it had drafted so that it fully reflects the decisions of the work group. When the Profile is complete, the Search Committee can publish it and begin the process of receiving and evaluating candidates for the vacancy.
The working document, as well as the Bylaws yet to be written, is very detailed and covers a lot of ground. Therefore, a Communications Committee is developing a summary "White Paper" which should be available to everyone soon. There will also be oral presentations with time allowed for Questions & Answers. Further, the Committee will produce a number of "bite-sized" articles for publication in our church's
Banyan Tree and our school's
This Week. These articles will be appearing throughout the Spring. Finally, as the Bylaws appear and the Rector's search progresses, the Committee will have the responsibility of keeping you informed.
Meanwhile, the members of our School Board and of our Vestry and our clergy and Head of School are steeped in the experience of Mission Possible; any of them will welcome your questions and comments. Their work has been a labor of love and of rededication to a mission of our church and to the children and families of our school.
