RESOURCES FOR PARISHES & VESTRIES
If your congregation currently does not have a priest, uses supply clergy or is in transition, you might find some of the clergy resources helpful.
If you are not sure who to contact with a question for the congregational support team, find your church’s point person (canon, missioner or bishop) below. If they are unable to assist you, they will direct you to another diocesan staff person who is able to assist.

A native North Carolinian, Elizabeth Dawkins was born in Raleigh and is a life-long Episcopalian. Prior to joining the diocesan staff as executive assistant to the Bishop Diocesan, she enjoyed 15 years on staff at The Church of the Good Shepherd, Raleigh.
She enjoys spending time with family, gardening, and joining friends to see any play at the DPAC. Her addiction to modern fiction and classic literature, with a particular weakness for John Donne, is just the lingering after effect of having received an MA in English Languages and Literature from NCSU.

Her other interests include music, reading, travel and spending time with her family. One of her favorite things is going to church, especially visiting different churches and experiencing the Eucharist in unique and inviting ways.
