Sabbatical Leave 2025

“SABBATICAL TIME IS AN OCCASION FOR A REFLECTION ABOUT YOUR CALLING”

The Sabbatical Leave Committee, which is a committee of the Finance & Extension Board, is presently inviting requests for sabbatical leave from ministry personnel for 2025.

If this is in your plans, please contact Diane Campbell (email) and/or submit a preliminary proposal to the Sabbatical Leave Committee by June 1, 2024.

This preliminary proposal should include a plan, the reasons for requesting sabbatical leave, time-lines and a draft budget. It is advisable that interested candidates will have already approached key persons of their employing units. The Committee will review all preliminary proposals and meet virtually on Zoom with candidates before the end of August 2024.

The selected candidates will be invited to submit a more detailed proposal, including a final budget, in person at a second meeting of the Committee in October 2024. A representative from the Nakonha:ka Regional Council’s Pastoral Relations Committee will also be present at that meeting. Candidates should be accompanied by representatives of their employing units. The Committee will notify successful applicants before the end of 2024. The time-line is being adhered to in order to allow the Committee and successful candidate(s) sufficient time to make the necessary arrangements with the employing unit(s) to find replacement personnel and finalize personal details.

Joint Sabbatical Leave Committee:

• Diane Campbell
• Prof. Jim Fyles
• Caroline Leamon, Finance & Extension Board Secretary
• Brian Ruse, Finance & Office Administrator
