Conveners: Dr. Nancy Foster, Great Lakes and The Rev. Canon Percy Grant (Retired), Ohio
This is a network for retired clergy, a place to find others, who have gone from a very active, creative and central role in the church, to a back pew. Your time is your own, now what? A knowledgeable group to talk about how to deal with a spiritual life that does not involve preaching. How to navigate supply asks, traveling on Sunday, saying no. A place to be with others who have been in leadership in an ever changing church, but are now watching from the sidelines or perhaps not watching at all. I am purposing this now because we have been given the gift of a lay coach, who can ask us questions and keep us on track (no wandering into theological quagmires).
The Rev. Canon Percy Grant
Percy Grant retired as the Canon for Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio after 16 years in 2023, and has been a priest for over 30 years.
Discernment is a major theme in her ministry, starting with the formation and leadership of the Young Priest Initiative in Virginia. This led to a call as the Transition Officer in the Diocese of Ohio. She worked with both congregations and clergy in search and understood that priests begin discernment long before ordination and continue to discern after the last call.
