ESM TOOLKIT

Getting Started

This section of the ESM Toolkit offers an excellent starting point for exploring ecumenical shared ministries (ESM). It includes a PowerPoint presentation with accompanying text to introduce the concept, share examples, and guide you through the initial steps of considering ESM in your context. Key resources include the “ESM Handbook,” a recording of the 2022 introductory webinar, a collection of ESM covenants and agreements, and book purchase information. Additionally, the document “Sharing Ministry Ecumenically” highlights 10 vignettes of Anglican/United Church shared ministries across Canada.
