NECA (The Network of Episcopal Clergy Associations) has a new website and is kick-starting its way into the 21st Century, and just in time.
Events at General Seminary, the state of
seminary education elsewhere, the move to contract workers and greater
and greater limitations on the safety-net provided by the notion of
tenure as rector, the lack employment by some and security of position
by others, and the general misuse of the resources provided by retired
clergy, all contribute to a time when clergy face considerable
challenges. Support for clergy by clergy is a vital part of the overall
health of clergy, and NECA can be a resource for individuals, churches
and dioceses as all try to make best use of, and provide best support for,
the ordained.
Go visit the site HERE.
And, by the by, join up in any way possible!

OK... Comments, gripes, etc welcomed, but with some cautions and one rule:
Cautions: Calling people fools, idiots, etc, will be reason to bounce your comment. Keeping in mind that in the struggles it is difficult enough to try to respect opponents, we should at least try.
Rule: PLEASE DO NOT SIGN OFF AS ANONYMOUS: BEGIN OR END THE MESSAGE WITH A NAME - ANY NAME. ANONYMOUS commentary will be cut.
