Candidacy Question 1: Please describe where you have heard a clear sense of call to ordained ministry

The COM has done discernment work with postulants throughout their postulancy, and has a better sense of their call, and the contours of their journey towards ordained ministry. Sharing your insights with the Standing Committee will improve the interview experience for both the Standing Committee and the postulant.
Thank you for your work of discernment, and for collaborating with the Standing Committee along the ordination process.
