Parish of Saint Mark, Portland seeks Rector – Apply by June 30
The beautiful Parish of St Mark has been a center for Anglo-Catholic worship in Northwest Portland since 1890. Modeled on the Basilica of St Zeno in Verona, its Romanesque Revival architecture coupled with a magnificent Werner Bosch organ makes it a truly special space to worship and realize the full expression of sacramental worship in the historic Anglo-Catholic tradition.
The Vestry and Parishioners of St Mark are looking for a Rector to lead our parish. Candidates already ordained or licensed to serve in our diocese the Anglican Province of Christ the King (APCK) are encouraged to apply, as are potential candidates from other Continuing Anglican dioceses such as the ACA, APA and ACC.
The job requirements are:
-
Believe in the authority and sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures as set for in Article VI of the Articles of Religion in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
-
Have command and understanding of the liturgy and liturgical style and traditions of St. Mark including the ability to sing, chant and conduct High Mass (music is extremely important at St Marks!) and deliver homilies relevant to parishioners’ daily lives.
-
Have demonstrated effective managerial and administrative skills including the ability to collaborate and work with our diverse Vestry members, Parish family and volunteers of traditional Anglican guilds.
-
Conduct himself in accordance with the bylaws of The Parish of St. Mark as well as the Canons of the Anglican Province of Christ the King.
-
See pastoral care and compassion as an integral part of his duties; comfortable with visitations to home or hospital.
-
Be an active and willing participant in community and parishioner outreach programs with an openness to new ideas and desire to strengthen the overall Continuing Movement through rapport with other Anglican parishes. Our new Rector must take initiative and interest in growing the congregation through community outreach, service, and visibility.
-
Our parishioners come from varied backgrounds and life experiences, so our new Rector needs to have an open mind and open door policy.
The Rector’s salary will be commensurate with the position. If you are interested in applying, please send a cover letter and resume via email or mail to Senior Warden Ken Dyar by June 30, 2022 or as soon as possible. You may also email him with any questions about the position.
