The Rev. David A. Pfaff (ext. 155)
Canon to the Ordinary
pfaff@diomil.org
The job of the Canon to the Ordinary is to support the Bishop in his ministry of oversight in the Diocese of Milwaukee, and in the wider church. Among other things, the Canon’s work includes clergy placement, some clergy pastoral care, administrative tasks on a diocesan, provincial, and national level, parish visitation with and on behalf of the Bishop, congregational support, diocesan property issues, support of the work of the Executive Council, and serving as an objective ear to Bishop in his reflections on the life of the Diocese. The Canon to the Ordinary serves at the direct invitation and sole pleasure of the Bishop.
The rather peculiar title of this position is taken from the diocesan bishop’s canonical responsibility to exercise ‘ordinary’ jurisdiction within a diocese; thus the reference to the diocesan bishop as the ‘ordinary of the diocese’, and hence the ‘canon to the ordinary’. |
