In the past 40 years many clergy have left active ministry,
or switched ministries, and the challenge is often formidable. Clergy are
well educated, well-trained, and very experienced in working with people in
personal counseling situations, education, administration and in a variety of
social work settings that arise in parish life.
However, if their degree is not in the particular area in which they have
experience a priest or minister can feel inadequate when suddenly faced with
seeking employment outside a parish or even outside a Church setting.
Employment in the secular fields may be a new experience for many who have
spent many years working hard and serving others. Putting that past
clerical experience into secular terms, and discovering what may or may not be
required to fulfill new employment demands can be overwhelming.
We are available to assist clergy or former clergy who are
seeking to transfer their education and skills to the secular workplace, and we
do so while profoundly respecting and appreciating the values that such an
individual brings to any career or work setting she or he may enter.
Our own spiritual motivation and values inspire us to help
such clergy in the practical aspect of skills evaluation, current new career
goals, and resume writing. We totally respect confidentiality regarding
the career or vocational change you are making.
