Finally, please continue to pray for Russ and Laura, for our wonderful Parish, for the Clergy and Staff, and our fifth Rector.

The Rector Search Committee has been meeting weekly for more than two months and is making good progress in the quest for our fifth Rector. The Committee appreciates the wonderful feedback and candidate suggestions Parishioners provided. The feedback has helped the Committee identify the characteristics we seek in our next Rector.

The desired characteristics include, among other things, excellent preaching and teaching skills; a commitment to the authority of Holy Scripture, Orthodox Anglican theology and traditional liturgy, and the Christian Sacraments; and a talented leader/mentor for our Clergy and Staff.

The Committee is finalizing the materials that will be given to potential candidates, which describe the best attributes of St. Martin’s.

Parishioners, the Diocese and the Rector Search Committee have identified a significant number of qualified individuals. The potential candidates will be carefully reviewed and vetted by the Committee before we contact them and initiate interviews.

As this work continues, the Search Committee invites your continued prayers and input in suggesting specific candidates and other suggestions. All feedback will be shared with the Committee members and remain confidential. We are thankful for your support.

To provide feedback, please email the Rector Search Committee at searchcommittee@smec.org.
