ABOUT APC PEER REVIEW AND ECCLESIASTICAL ENDORSEMENT

As you may know the APC has started a peer review process. Anyone who has been board certified for 5 or more years will be required to do a peer review and have a letter of "Continued Endorsement" from your local Committee on the Ministry. You will be notified when it is your year do to so. As you move through that process, please be aware of the following: Associations should expect you to fill in the Continued Ecclesiastical Endorsement Form for Professional Organizations.

You will need two forms for this process that you will find at the link below. You, as the applicant, choose the application form called "Professional Organizations - Continued Ecclesiastical Endorsement Form."  The Chair of your Committee on Ministry should choose the template called "APC - Continued Endorsement Letter Template."   You do NOT need the template for the letter of continued endorsement but you will need to send these instructions to the Chair so the Chair can save the template to his/her computer and type the letter incorporating your information.
