* "Local ordination" refers to the variety of ways that have been developed to provide for ordination of a person or persons within a parish who complete a "non-standard" process of seminary education and are ordained in order to share the ministry functions with (or without) a seminary trained priest in charge.
In this model the congregation raises up a team from within the parish to work with the seminary-trained priest who mentors and trains the team. Some teams might include a liturgist, a deacon, sacramentalist, preacher, pastoral care minister, education, etc. The common element is supervision by a seminary trained priest.
We are St. Luke’s first Shared Ministry Team and we came together through a process of discernment. In addition to defining roles appropriate for St. Luke's, we have spent many months in study, prayer, spiritual development, & community building.
Additional teams will be called every 3 or 4 years to augment or replace the original team.
