In order to protect the privacy of the candidates whose records
we receive, and to avoid gossip about our deliberations, the
Search Committee and Vestry impose upon themselves the following
rules:
No information whatsoever about any individual candidate
will be divulged, nor anything about the committee's impressions
regarding the candidate, nor as to whether any decision on
the candidacy has been made. Further, each committee member
is responsible for safeguarding and ultimately destroying
any materials given or notes taken during the course of the
committee's work.
The committee is free to discuss the total number of names
that have been submitted, the geographical range of the candidates
and the general time frames of the process. The committee
is not free to disclose gender, race, age, ethnic background,
sexuality or other identifying information of any candidates
being considered. Further, none of the aforementioned criteria
will be a factor in the evaluation process.
The Search Committee has a clear mandate from the Vestry
and the congregation at large regarding the calling of a new
rector. The committee is deeply engaged in a process that
we pray will call the best possible candidate to lead St.
James. We see the parish as blessed in our dedication to St.
James and fortunate to have the leadership of our Interim
Rector, Father Edwards. |
