In this episode of In All Things, special guest host Annie Rose welcomes Doug Resler and Julie Hawkins, co-chairs of the EPC’s Ad-Interim Committee on Ordination Standards and Processes. As the 45th General Assembly approaches, Doug and Julie provide a thoughtful behind-the-scenes look at the purpose and work of their committee, formed to evaluate and recommend updates to the EPC’s ordination standards.

Together, they discuss the why behind their recommendations, the theological and pastoral considerations that shaped their work, and their hopes for how these changes might serve the long-term health and unity of the EPC. Whether you're a Teaching Elder, Ruling Elder, or someone discerning a call to ministry, this episode offers a helpful and hopeful look at how we affirm and equip those called to serve Christ’s church.
