  2. Introduction • One of the most important tasks undertaken by our congregations and agencies is the calling of a person to serve with them in one of the specified ministries. • Placement time can be one of the most stressful times that individuals seeking a placement, their families and the congregations involved can experience. • Good information and clear processes are very helpful in dealing with stressful situations. Next The point of the call process is that all those involved endeavour to discern the call of God between Ministers and congregations or other bodies. Everyone involved in the process should exercise sensitivity, openness and act prayerfully. This is a listening and discerning process.
