Sun Chronicle: All Saints', Attleboro takes a "team approach" to pastoral ministry

View original: The Sun Chronicle

The Revs. Meghan T. Sweeney and Billie Mae Gordon are relatively new to their profession. So is their current situation as priest-in-charge and pastoral associate at All Saints Episcopal Church in Attleboro, a situation they called a "team approach," that may be part of a new normal for small Episcopal parishes, they said. The team approach consists of a priest-in-charge, pastoral associate, and deacon, as well as lay leaders, as opposed to a traditional single priest model. Sweeney and Gordon both began at All Saints in July of 2012.
