The Interim Rector’s term may be extended beyond the initial term as agreed by the parties, with the understanding that the Interim Rector shall have at least sixty days advance notice of the conclusion of the term of his/her ministry at the Parish.  \n1. Goals for the Interim Period  \na. The period of interim ministry is a prime time for renewal, reenergizing the parish in its life and mission. Beyond maintaining effective ministry during this period, the Vestry and Interim Rector shall work together to prepare for healthy transition to the next rectorship.  \nb. Specific tasks to be addressed during the interim period include:  \ni) Coming to terms with the history of this congregation and its relationships with previous clergy.  \nii) Discovering the congregation's special identity, what it dreams of being and doing apart from previous clergy leadership.  \niii) Dealing with shifts in leadership roles that naturally evolve in times of transition, allowing new leaders to come to the fore constructively.  \niv) Renewing and reworking relationships with the diocese, so that each may be amore effective resource and support to the other.  \nv) Building commitment to the leadership of the new rector in order to be prepared to move into the future with openness to new possibilities.  \n2. Vestry Responsibilities  \na. All ministries other than those reserved to ordained leadership (such as administering the sacraments) are understood as mutual ministries of the laity of the parish and the Interim Rector. The Vestry shall lead the laity to support and cooperate with the Interim Rector in pursuit of parish goals and in the performance of the developmental tasks of the interim period.  \nb. The Vestry is the legal agent for the parish in all matters concerning its corporate property and in its relationship with the Interim Rector. The Vestry will see that the Interim Rector is properly supported, personally and organizationally as well as in the Vestry's financial obligations to the Interim Rector.  \n3. Interim Rector Responsibilities  \na. The Interim Pastor represents and extends the ministry which is the Bishop's pastoral and canonical responsibility for congregations in leadership transition. The Interim Rector shall lead the Parish as pastor, priest and teacher, sharing in the councils of this congregation and of the whole church, in communion with our Bishop. In these capacities, the responsibilities of the Interim Rector shall include:  \ni) Working with the Vestry and other lay leaders to maintain the regular schedule of worship services and preaching, education, pastoral care and pastoral offices (weddings, funerals, baptisms), calling upon the sick and shut-in, visiting newcomers, and ongoing administration of the parish.  \nii) Supervising all parish staff in the exercise of their responsibilities and ministries, for which they shall be accountable to the Interim Pastor.  \niii) Functioning as Chair of the Vestry, and support the Vestry in its responsibilities.  \nb. The primary goal of the Interim Rector's ministry is to prepare the congregation for the coming of the next rector. To this end, the work of the Interim Rector shall include:  \ni) Helping the congregation deal with its grief and any other unresolved issues arising from the rector's departure.  \nii) Dealing with internal conflicts and help heal any divisions within the congregation.  \niii) Helping the Vestry, lay leaders and staff make such changes as may be needed to align parish life and administration with generally accepted standards in the diocese.  \nc.
