Have church, will travel
When Trinity Episcopal Church’s long-time pastor moved on to a new ministry, the parish needed someone to help the congregation make the transition into the future.
That mission led to an interim pastor, the Rev. Nancy Miller, whose temporary role she considers to be a unique ministry in itself.
‘‘I’m an intentional interim pastor,’’ she said, noting that her entrance into ordained ministry was a second career for her after working in insurance.
She graduated from seminary in 1989 and worked in a college chaplaincy and worked on a bishop’s staff in Connecticut in clergy placement.
‘‘I would help parishes looking for new pastors,’’ she said.
‘‘What I felt compelling was watching the differences in how parishes emerged from the challenges of transition. Some embraced the change as an opportunity and thrived, to those that wanted to hold their breath and hope nothing terrible happened.
