Circuit riding

[Shane R]

I am back to circuit riding; ie. serving as supply or appointment clergy. This is a role I have often found myself filling in the past and I enjoy it. I take it seriously and put effort into learning and adapting to the customs of the host parish and preparing fresh or at least updated sermon material.

In the Orthodox church Hieromonks often do this, and later become Archimandrites, which is to say monastic archpriests, of whom the Hegumenate of the monasteries and from whom the Episcopate is selected.
