What is the Commission on Ministry?

The following definition of a Diocesan Standing Committee is found courtesy of Church Publish Incorporated:  http://www.episcopalchurch.org/109399_14047_ENG_HTM.htm

  

The functions of Commissions on Ministry specified in the canon are to assist the bishop "in determining present and future needs for ministry in the diocese" and to assist "in enlisting and selecting persons for Holy Orders." Commissions are to develop, train, and affirm lay ministries. They interview candidates prior to their ordination as deacons and may interview candidates prior to their ordination as priests, if requested by the bishop, reporting to the bishop in each case. They assist the bishop in guiding and counseling deacons and other ministers, and they assist in matters pertaining to the continuing education of the clergy.
