Update From the General Minister Search Team

In October, the Search Team opened the application process by posting a Ministry Discernment Profile within the PCUSA system as well as sharing it online and in Presbyterian publications. Presbytery members are invited to share the position with any leaders whom they feel would make an excellent candidate; it can be found online at pghpresbytery.org/branches/job_opportunities/.

In November, all members of the Search Team participated in anti-racism training. This step intentionally came before reviewing even initial candidates to ensure the team incorporated the principles of antiracism and intersectional anti-discrimination into the search process. The Search Team would like to express their gratitude to the Presbytery’s Anti-Racism Transformation Team for exercising their influence to ensure the integrity of the search process, and commend the work they undertake on behalf of the entire Presbytery.
