Application = for Enrollment as an Inquirer

 

The purpose of the questions in this application is to help the Session and the presbytery's Committee on Preparation for Ministry (CPM) get to know you.  The application will be used as a = basis for mutual discussion.  Because there is a great variety in age and experience of persons making applicatio= n, this questionnaire is purposely broad in scope.  Please use extra paper as needed to provide additional information you feel will give the fairest representatio= n of yourself.  Be as accurate and = candid as you can.

 

This form can be fill= ed out in Word format.  You can move = the cursor around on the document using the mouse, the arrows keys, and the Pag= e Up and Page Down keys.  As you fi= ll in a line that has an underline, you may find that the underline stretches to = the right and starts a new line.  = After you finish your input on that line, just use the Delete key to bring the en= d of the underline back to where it belongs.

 

After completing page= s 2-5 and 14 (pages 6-9 are not required by the Presbytery of the James) email pa= ges 2-17 plus your essays to the clerk or moderator of the session of your home church.  Ask to meet with the session to gain its endorsement of your application for inquiry.  Give to the session also transcrip= ts of all academic work you have completed beyond high school. 

 

Read carefully the responsibilites of session, inquirer and CPM in Form 1A, pages 12-13= ; Form 2A, pages 16-17.

 

If session endorses your application, session will appoint one of its members = to be your liaision.  The moderat= or or clerk of session should fill out and sign page 11.  Page 18 requires your name at the = top, and the signatures of the moderator and a witness.  You do not need to sign it yet.  The clerk should keep a copy of the entire application and give you the originals of all signed documents.  Then email your application as an attachment to the presbytery office (franklinr@pbyjames.org).  Since page 5, 11, 14, and 18 (and = page 9, if you use pages 6-9) require signatures, please deliver them in hard copy, together with the official transcripts, to

Presbytery of the James

When you come for your interview with CPM, bring a copy of your application, including pages 16-17, the responsibilities of the iquirer and CPM.  Before your interview please study= these pages carefully to make sure you know the terms of the covenant you are intending to enter into with the presbytery.
