Resources for clergy

These pages are being developed to provide clergy in the diocese with the information, including forms, they need. These pages will continue to be updated as more resources become available. We welcome your input and suggestions for resources to feature on these pages. Please send suggestions to Canon Alicia Schuster Weltner at aschusterweltner@episcopalatlanta.org

 

General information

Please be aware of the following, regarding The Parish Paper:

The Diocese of Atlanta's purchase of photocopy rights for The Parish Paper INCLUDES:

1. Permission to provide copies to our staff and the congregations within our constituency in any of the following ways: E-mail, U.S. Mail, newspaper, newsletter, meetings, training events, and our Website.

2. Permission for each congregation within our constituency to (a) photocopy or electronically distribute for local use as many copies as it needs, (b) post them on its Website, and (c) quote sentences and paragraphs.

Your congregation does NOT have permission (a) to delete the copyright notice on page 2; (b) to re-write, paraphrase, or change the wording of sentences and paragraphs; or (c) to give ANY THIRD PARTY-other than your staff and constituents-permission to photocopy or reprint (in any quantity, no matter how small, whether for free distribution or for sale).

If your congregation uses a U.S. Post Office Nonprofit Mailing Permit to distribute photocopies with its newsletter or other mailings, most local Post Offices require that every item carry your congregation's name and address. Above The Parish Paper masthead, type your congregation's name, address, and "Photocopied by Permission."
