2022 Title IV Training

Recorded at the diocesan office on June 22, 2022, this training is mandatory for potential ordinands in the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida discernment process. It also contains information pertinent to all clergy.

“Title IV” refers to the section of The Episcopal Church’s Canons (laws) that addresses the grounds and processes for “ecclesiastical discipline,” a canonical process adopted by the Church to encourage accountability, reconciliation and pastoral response when a member of its clergy (deacons, priests, or bishops) are accused of misconduct.

In this video, The Rev. Canon Scott T. Holcombe, diocesan canon to the ordinary, introduces Title IV and walks viewers through the process detailed in this important section of the canons. It begins with the diocesan Code of Ethics for Clergy and discusses the discretionary fund policy of the diocese.
