Kara Slade
For the past 6 years, I have been honored to serve on GBEC. As the current chair of the ethics evaluation team, and the immediate past vice-chair of the Board, I have been able to bring my academic experience to the composition and the evaluation of the GOE. I currently serve as the Anglican Studies instructor at an ecumenical seminary, and have also taught in several diocesan schools for ministry. The world of theological education is changing rapidly, and yet the church is called to ensure that the canons are followed and that those following all paths to ordination meet all canonical requirements for proficiency. We are also called to treat each person taking the GOE with care, extending the same pastoral sensitivity to them as we hope they will extend to others in their own ministries.
