These past weeks, the New England Regional Sub-Committee on Candidacy and the Ministerial Fellowship Committee have both met in Boston, Massachusetts. An incredible amount of preparation, commitment and experience is required to appear before these committees of ministers, lay leaders, scholars and Unitarian Universalist Association staff.
To receive an affirmation from the Regional Sub-Committee on Candidacy indicates that the candidate may continue preparing for ministerial fellowship in the Unitarian Universalist tradition. The In Care In Covenant program of the Metro NY District applaud the newly minted candidates, including our own Daniel Gregoire, 2nd year Union Theological student and student minister at Community Church of New York. Daniel, we welcome you into candidacy!
We also celebrate the ministerial fellowship of all those who received the blessing of the MFC. Congratulations! Recognizing that this process is incredibly challenging, we also hold those who were asked to return again to see these evaluative committees and encourage you to continue pursuing your ministerial aspirations. Keep hope--We need you and love you!
To all those working towards fellowship-- keep up the good work. Keep making progress and learning about the ministerial felllowshiping process.
Blessings for your journey!
Lissa
