Commission on Ministry
Membership
The COM consists of between 12 and 15 members (lay and clergy) appointed by the Bishop for three-year terms at the Diocesan Convention. The group is an advisory committee for the Bishop, meaning the COM makes recommendations to the Bishop and to the Standing Committee who in turn discern whether individuals are called, equipped, and prepared for ordained ministry.
