Christy Stang

VI Minnesota

Although new to ministry, I am passionate about ensuring that clergy are supported, both in preventative care and responsive support in cases of misconduct and complaints, especially bishops. I have observed the positive and negative repercussions of behavior in the episcopate, and if elected to the Disciplinary Board for Bishops, I would bring my work ethic, deep faith in Jesus, and a holistic approach to the individual along with an awareness of the Canons. I hold myself accountable to being open-minded and compassionate, responding to information with an eye for detail as well as for the bigger picture. As someone elected as an alternate deputy for the Minnesota delegation to General Convention in 2024, I understand that the structure and decisiveness of the Canons provide both a necessary and pastoral framework for church life. I hope to have many years of ministry ahead of me, and I am invested in the health and well-being of everyone in the church.
