A Review that needs to happen! (Not Behind Closed Doors!)

Late one evening - I (was brushing up on my light reading) reviewing the Diocesan WEB Site and came across many documents that show how things should proceed in the interaction between the Rector and the Parish/Vestry.

SECTION G - MUTUAL MINISTRY REVIEW

The Rector, Wardens and Vestry agree to an annual discussion and mutual review of the total ministry of the parish, in order to:

1. Provide the Rector, Wardens and Vestry opportunity to assess how well they are fulfilling their responsibilities to each other and to the ministry they share. Let us the People of All Saints Tell you ALL how well you are or not doing, step up and be held accountable!
2. Establish goals for the work of the parish for the coming year. Not happened yet and per the Current Rector he is not willing or ready to share his vision except to say "God's Shalom". This is not a Vision!
3. Isolate areas of conflict or disappointment which have not received adequate attention and may be adversely affecting mutual ministry. If this had happened then this Blog Site would be history, and all the Parish Family Members that have left would come back with others not departing as they are in droves!
4. Clarify expectations of all parties to help put any future conflicts in manageable form. See #3 above! This Rector is not and has no Management/Leadership Skills to attempt this, as it has been clearly shown time and time again.
5. A mutually agreed upon third party shall be engaged to facilitate the mutual ministry review process. Ok!  But in an open forum having a independant third party involved and not the Rectors Spiritual Advisor (Rev. Smoot (sp?) Sorry) that was in for the White Washed version last time. We need this so they can see and hear the issues first hand and not get a white wash version from the Rector and Senior Warden. We ask "Do you the Rector and Senior Warden have the fortitude to stand up to this kind of scrutiny?"

Funny thing! There is a big process for a Rectors Review to happen annualy. But no where is it shown to state "In Seculsion"! This Rector needs to have a Review by those that count, "US" not a Stacked Vestry, with a Senior Warden that defends him with out (what is obvious) question, but an honest and open revew of this Rectors tenure with this Church Family. What say you All Saints? What are they hiding? Where is your voice? When do we say ~ "Enough is Enough!
