The Church Admin Corner: Sharing the Load

RJ Chambers

November 25, 2025

As we begin Advent and look ahead to Christmas, a time that can be very busy and stressful for clergy and church staff, allow yourself a moment to reflect on the season and remember why we do what we do.

If you need any additional administration support as you approach Christmas, please let the Synod Office know by emailing churched@edmonton.anglican.ca. While the Diocese does not have unlimited staff/time resources, this season tends to be lighter for the Diocese than it is for parishes, so Diocesan staff will help if able.

Wishing you all the very best over the next few weeks and as you enter the new year!!

In the spirit of peaceful dialogue, understanding, reconciliation, and healing, we walk alongside our Indigenous and Métis relations on the Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 Territories, the traditional meeting ground of Cree, Saulteaux, Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakota Sioux, Dene, Métis, and Inuit peoples.
