WELCOME TO FRESH START®


Fresh Start
is a diocesan-led program that seeks to foster healthy relationships among clergy, their congregations and their dioceses during critical periods of transition. Encouraging open and honest discussion of transitional issues affecting both clergy and congregations, the program’s goal is to build a culture in which the mutual ministry of the clergy and congregation starts off on the right foot, enabling their new relationship to begin with a “Fresh Start”.

fresh start is a collaborative ministry of the Episcopal Church, with creative contributions from the Anglican Church of Canada.
