AED Board - 2022 Election

Deacon Candidate
James M. Jenkins

Diocese: Central Pennsylvania 
Present Employment: Retired
Current Ministries: Parish

Current Church Assignment: St. Paul's Episcopal Church
Previous Positions: St. Matthew's Episcopal Church (Eugene, OR)

Question #1 
How do you envision contributing to the AED Board?  What are your special talents and gifts?
​
I have over 20 years of experience as an internal auditor and have a sound understanding of tax-exempt financial reporting. I have also served on the boards of various types of non-profit organizations and provided training to boards on their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, I bring the perspective of a deacon working in small, rural parishes. 
​
Question #2 
​
What is your vision for the future of the Association for Episcopal Deacons?
​
I see three primary missions for the AED; 1) support people in discernment and training for the diaconate, 2) advocate the ability of deacons to exercise the full range of their ministries, and 3) to act as a resource for all active and retired deacons.
