(Adapted from the
Presbytery of West Virginia, 1990 and updated 5/18/92)
- The mentor should be a good role model for the CLP. The
mentor should demonstrate the openness and caring that the
CLP should develop.
- The mentor should be an ordained minister member of presbytery,
other than the CLP's pastor.
- The mentor should be accessible for meetings and phone
conversations.
- The mentor should be approachable and non-judgmental; they
should listen before giving advice; and present negative comments
in a positive way.
- The CLP should attempt to contact the mentor at least monthly.
They should provide a sermon tape at least quarterly seeking
feedback from the mentor. If the CLP has not contacted the
mentor in several months, the mentor should initiate contact.
The Subcommittee on Care and Oversight should be contacted
if this problem persists.
- The mentor should encourage the CLP to pursue his or her
own personal growth.
- The mentor should report to the Subcommittee on Care and
Oversight at least twice a year.
- The mentor is appointed for one year and is selected by
the Care and Oversight Subcommittee from the nominees submitted
by the CLP/Candidate.
- No mentor should have responsibility for more than one
CLP.
