Our disciplinary Canons aim for healing and redemption in painful circumstances. I believe I have the knowledge and experiences to contribute to this process for Bishops. I have worked through complex disciplinary matters, first as Canon to the Ordinary and Intake Officer (2013-2019) and now as Bishop Diocesan (2019 - present). I am familiar with the range of emotional responses which can arise in the persons involved. Equally valuable has been the the careful work with the multiple parties involved in any larger altercation, which includes the parish or diocese itself. All participants need a path to healing in Christ. Beyond addressing the issue at hand, is the importance of laying the groundwork for redemption and restoration of communal life, though not in the same setting anymore. I believe my skills, experiences, and pastoral awareness would be valuable for serving on the Bishop's Disciplinary Board.
