Churches that have tried this have found that sacramentalists and preachers without a team are overwhelmed with people’s expectations. They end up trying to be “mini rectors” without the time or preparation for the task. For this reason no congregation in this diocese is approved by the Commission on Ministry or the bishop to have sacramentalists and preachers without the support of a team. Experience proves that in these cases burnout destroys our most gifted ministers.
