Discernment in the diocese of California

Discernment is a journey

Discernment is a journey

In the diocese of CA we require everyone to attend a Day of Discernment to start them on the path of discernment for holy orders. The day is divided into three parts:

What is Discernment? Individual practices:  This will be an introduction to discernment tools and the outcomes of discernment. 

Discernment Practices for the Church – How to create a Culture of Discernment: We will look at congregational practices around leadership, and visioning and focus on small groups and local discernment committees.

Discernment for Holy Orders – Understanding our new process in DioCal: This part looks at the new ordination process in the diocese of California. It gives a general overview of the process and what to expect.
