Sabbatical/Renewal Leave Planning
 
St. Thomas’ Vestry and Sabbatical Planning Committee is using Dr. Robert C. Saler’s exceptional work, Planning Sabbaticals:  A Guide For Congregations And Their Pastors (Chalice Press, 2019), to inform our planning and management of Fr. Ryan’s summer 2025 sabbatical leave. Among Saler’s key points from the book is this takeaway:  No time spent gaining congregational buy-ins for renewal leaves is wasted; it is one of the most valuable parts of the renewal itself, whether it takes three months, or three years.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to a member of the Sabbatical Planning Committee with questions:  Mary Clark 832-332-5339, Pam Holley 727-481-4990, or Bill Barns 757-646-5146.
