Campus Ministry Leadership Agreement

As a member of Campus Ministry Leadership, I agree to the following:

1. With God’s grace I will seek to practice a life of prayer, including faithful commitment to Sunday worship.

2. I will seek to present the teachings of the Catholic Church accurately, and if I struggle to understand or accept some particular teaching, I will happily refer people to those who can help rather than speak against the Church and her teaching.

3. I will attend all required events hosted for CML and my ministry as outlined in this document. I understand that these function as a support to my participation in a Christian leadership program and if I fail to attend, I am not fulfilling my leadership role.

I recognize that certain actions might require me to step down from CML:

1. Abusing drugs or alcohol, harming the CML community, or bringing public scandal to Christ and his Church.

2. Regularly failing to fulfill CML expectations as well as the duties connected to my ministry, with the exception of excused absence or extenuating circumstances.
