Honestly, I didn’t expect this. Like most things with God, it started as a nudge, then a whisper, and then suddenly I was standing in front of a bishop with paperwork.
In case you’re wondering, a postulant is someone who has completed the formal discernment process and has been accepted by the bishop as a candidate for ordained ministry within my denomination, the Episcopal Church. It marks the beginning of a more structured season of formation—typically including seminary—where the focus shifts from questioning the call to preparing to live it out. Being made a postulant means the Church is officially saying, “We see something here—and we’re willing to walk with you and test this call.”
This blog is my attempt to make sense of that calling. Expect vestment opinions, spiritual detours, and hopefully a little grace.
Stay pesky, friends.
In Christ, Ericca
