Form for Spouse of Candidate for Ordination

For the sake of marital harmony it is important that you and your spouse have a common understanding about your involvement in the life and ministry of the church. For the sake of congregational harmony it is important that the congregation knows and accepts what your involvement will be.

Your spouse’s call to ordained ministry is being discerned by the area conference. There are several aspects to this discernment process and several voices will be heard in it. Your voice is important in this decision, and this form is one way for your voice to be heard. Your choice in this is also reflected in the kind of involvement you will have in the ordination service if that takes place.
