• Episcopal clergy (bishops, priests, and deacons)
• Lay professionals (parish and diocesan administrators, musicians, teachers, chaplains, institutional directors, those in specialized ministries, etc)
• Seminarians
• Anglican clergy outside the US
• Lutheran (ELCA) pastors
Please note that if you are a lay professional, you will need authorization from your bishop to register. Anglican clergy abroad and ELCA clergy will need to secure the sponsorship of an Episcopal bishop and consent from their own bishop.

Update Your CDO Profile

More and more, search/calling committees, diocesan deployment officers and bishops are requiring up-to-date CDO Profiles from candidates. You should update your profile at least every two years. Keeping your Profile updated enables you to be “open” to a call where your gifts are needed.
