Clergy Compliance

Shared Responsibility for Diocesan Policies and Norms

As partners together with one another and the Bishop, clergy share responsibility for complying with all Canonical and Diocesan policies, including:

Safeguarding God’s Children Training
Safeguarding God’s People Training
Beloved Community: Dismantling Racism Training
Participation in Annual Council
Participation in Clergy Conference
Participation in Clericus Meetings
Maintaining accurate Parish Registers
Timely Submission of Annual Parochial Reports (including the 5th Page)
Fulfilling stated Continuing Education Requirements
Participation in Leading on Purpose (for clergy newly ordained or new to the Diocese)
Obtaining Re-Marriage Petitions (when applicable)

Failure to comply will impair the Bishop’s ability to provide a letter of good standing or to recommend a priest for positions within or beyond the Diocese of Atlanta.
