[Faith-talk] Starting Ordination Process in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts

[George McDermith]

	I wish you luck in your process and hope you will continue to post
your experiences to the list. About two years ago I attempted to obtain
ordination in the Anglican cChurch in North America, and in that process I
did find a link to a group of blind and deaf priests in the Episcopal
church, but did not end up contacting the group. The link was at the
Episcopal Church's National web site, and I'm sure you can find ti through
Google. Hope this helps, and again best of luck.

  Sincerely,

  George McDermith

of Massachusetts

Dear Faith-Talk Members,

I wrote a while back to introduce myself.  My name is Ginnie Walden and I'm
new to this list.  I am in the preliminary stages of seeking ordination to
the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.  For those
familiar with the process in the Episcopal Church--I'm still in conversation
with my Rector.  No lay committee has been formed yet.

Does anyone on this list have experience serving as a parish priest (any
denomination)?  Does anyone know of a blind clergy person in the Episcopal
Church who might be willing to be in touch with me?  I'm looking to touch
base with someone about addressing questions regarding blindness in the
ordination process.  My Rector is wonderfully supportive so far, but it
would be great to get in touch with someone who is blind and serving as a
parish priest.

Thanks,
Ginnie
