1 Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. (1 Peter 4:10-11) THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD VESTRY GUIDELINES 1

2 The Vestry s Responsibilities Members of the vestry are legal agents in the congregation The work of the vestry has two faces: leadership and management. As a vestry member you will be expected to manage and lead. Management includes such tasks as: budgeting, establishing and enforcing policies and procedures, establishing action plans, maintaining property. Leadership includes such tasks as: articulating and communicating the vision for the future of the parish, generating enthusiasm and buy-in from the congregation, setting the tone for leadership by acting responsibly for the good of the congregation so that other leaders in the congregation are encouraged to grow and flourish. 1 The Vestry s Role The role of the vestry is defined by the canons of the Episcopal Church and the local diocese as well as the constitution and by-laws of the parish (see below) In their capacity as legal representatives and agents of a parish, vestries must be aware of their ongoing responsibilities and potential liabilities. Vestries and parishes can be held legally liable for any of the following: Accidents and other incidents occurring on parish property or during parish sponsored activities Violation of fiduciary responsibilities especially those relating to finances Violations of contracts, leases or other legal agreements Wrongful termination and other employment practices Discrimination and sexual harassment and misconduct In very rare instances, individual members of vestries may be held personally liable for significant acts of malfeasance or willful misconduct. Because of potential liability, vestries should ensure that the parish has adequate liability as well as directors and officers insurance coverage, including coverage for employment-related actions. These insurance policies can provide coverage for actual claims as well as legal defense. You should speak with your diocesan administrator or insurance carrier to review all of your insurance coverage needs. Support of the rector is another important role for the vestry. This role includes activities such as: setting meetings to engage in open and honest conversation about what is and is not going well in the congregation, paying attention to clergy wellness issues, paying attention to clergy family wellness issues, encouraging clear and direct communication between the congregation, the vestry, and the rector. 2 (See pages 8-12 for National and Diocesan Canons and pages for Good Shepherd By- Laws concerning vestries.) 1 Ibid., 9-10 (paraphrased) 2 Episcopal Church Foundation, "The Vestry Resource Guide," 1-80 (New York, New York: The Episcopal Church Foundation, 2007)
