Walking the Mourner's Path

Great Opportunity!
Walking the Mourners Path needs an administrative person to: process orders for our partner churches - including responding to church requests, gathering and packing materials, preparing shipments, ensuring materials arrive in a timely basis and processing payments from churches. Skills needed: Working knowledge of Microsoft Office Products, and email. Basic knowledge of QuickBooks is a plus. The ideal candidate needs to be able to work independently. The schedule is fairly flexible and a stipend as compensation for the work is available. Walking the Mourner’s Path is a Christian bereavement program and operates as part of the outreach ministries of St. Anthony. Contact Catherine Gilbert if interested.

In order to accomplish the task of assisting those whose lives are negatively affected by grief, Walking The Mourner's Path™ was started in 1995 by The Rev. Danielle Morris in response to an unmet need for long-term spiritual comfort for those who mourn.

This was accomplished by training clergy and laity to lead Christ-Centered grief support courses in congregations and other settings.Originally based at All Saints Episcopal Church in Winter Park, Florida, this ministry has trained hundreds of course facilitators and conducted support workshops throughout the country. The value of this work gained national recognition when, in conjunction with the Episcopal and Lutheran churches, Mourner's Path trainers taught local religious and lay leaders to offer Grief Relief in New York after the "911" tragedy.

St. Anthony on the Desert Episcopal Church in Scottsdale acquired this highly acclaimed Christian bereavement program in 2005 and now operates it as part of its outreach ministry.

Walking The Mourner's Path differs from many ongoing "grief support groups" in that as research has shown, structured programs with a beginning and an end are far more successful. The Mourner's Path course consists of one and a half hour sessions for eight consecutive weeks and limits participants to ten. Each session has two facilitators plus a member of the clergy present.The program is a ministry distinct from other bereavement programs in that it is Christ-centered, scripturally sound and church based. Walking the Mourner's Path is not group therapy but is spiritually directed.In addition to a staff in Scottsdale, there are more than 100 Certified Facilitators and Facilitator Trainers located throughout the United States and abroad.
