[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe he was the best candidate? Someone from Yale Divinity School is no slouch. Plus, have you even met him? He is really kind and personable. [/quote]

I personally feel that an Episcopal school should have at least one chaplain who is a priest. I have never, in all our experiences in the Episcopal Church an in Episcopal schools, come across an Episcopal school that does not have a priest on staff. I have known of schools with unordained chaplains who assist ordained chaplains. Washington Episcopal School has the right to make any decision on staffing they want as an independent school, but as an Episcopal family, I expect an Episcopal school to have a priest on staff.  Others are free to disagree, and the board and leaders may disagree as well. That is just my opinion.[/quote]

I don't have a child at either WES or SAES, but as an Episcopalian who has taught Sunday School and worked with youth groups, I'd say what matters most is being able to establish a rapport with students and help them live the faith.     [/quote]

I agree with you, and the best way to find people who can establish rapport with children is to post positions publicly and seek out candidates. It is hard to trust that someone is the most qualified candidate when the position was never posted when the other chaplain left. That is where my family's trust in the administration failed. The school did the same thing with other teaching positions, hire without posting positions. Don't tell me someone is the most qualified for the job when the school never sought out applicants.[/quote]
