East Central Ontario Regional Council Handbook for Licensed Lay Worship Leaders (LLWLs)

A Guide for LLWLs and Communities of Faith in East Central Ontario Regional Council (ECORC)

Overview: This handbook is a supplement to The United Church of Canada (UCC) document Licensed Lay Worship Leaders. It focuses on practices related to LLWLs in the East Central Ontario Region (ECOR), and as such may differ from other regions of the UCC. The licensing and relicensing requirements of LLWLs within the bounds of the ECORC are compliant with the document Licensed Lay Worship Leaders and are described in full in this handbook. It will be reviewed every year by the Licensed Lay Worship Leaders (LLWL) Forum and Network and updated as necessary. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact the LLWL Forum chair or secretary. You may also wish to visit LLWL sections of the ECORC website, where you will find information about the Forum and Network, a list of LLWLs available to lead worship, a list of frequently asked questions and more.

Please note that this guidebook uses “they” and “them” to refer to individuals in order to be respectful of all gender identities and expressions.
