Episcopal Start

The Diocese provides transitional/interim ministry training for clergy who serve in interim positions or who have recently moved to a new cure. This support is offered to both clergy who transition into the diocese and those who transition within the diocese.

Episcopal Start takes place 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month from October through June at St. Paul's, Winston-Salem. The day is facilitated by the canons, and lunch is provided. Attendance for full-time clergy is required, and part-time clergy are also encouraged to attend.

Canon Catherine Massey oversees the transitional program within the diocese. Please contact her if you are unable to attend a session.

    Dismantling Racism: Reclaiming our Baptismal Promise

    Friday, July 29, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

    July 29, 5-8 p.m., and July 30, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.


    REGISTER. You only need to register ONCE to attend both sessions.

    Racial healing and reconciliation are fundamental to our ongoing spiritual formation.  Please join us for this interactive workshop designed to deepen our spiritual commitment to dismantle racism as participants in the Jesus movement.

    Through presentations, prayer, story sharing, videos, and small group discussion, we will explore how the sin of racism impacts all of our lives. We will ground our work together biblically and sacramentally by renewing our Baptismal vows—to seek and serve Christ in all persons and to respect the dignity of all human beings.

    This workshop is one step in our ongoing and sustained journey to become Beloved Community.
