Licensed ministries
Certain roles in churches are filled by laypeople who have been licensed by the Bishop to function in these capacities. The ministries that need a license are specified by the canons (church laws) of the Episcopal Church; they are the following: Eucharistic Minister, Eucharistic Visitor, Worship Leader, Preacher, Catechist, and Pastoral Leader. The Diocese of Hawai‘i has specified the training requirements for a number of these roles.
Discernment for ministry
What am I supposed to do with my life? How does God call me to serve? These and questions like them are matters for "discernment": figuring out how to distinguish God's call among all the hunches, inclinations, and pulls in a particular direction that one might experience.
