Our Core Values


Collegiality: We are committed to helping establish and nurture solid relationships between clergy that are inclusive, that encourage shared decision making, that develop a shared vision and purpose, and that honor clerical diversity.

Wholeness: We are committed to providing resources that inspire clergy to focus on and work toward a wholeness of the entire person that is a witness to and a model of the fuller living reign of God.

Formation: We are committed to providing opportunities to enhance the growth of every clergy person, helping each to serve Christ and the world through the unique ministry of the ordained with intention, compassion, and integrity.

All clergy in the Diocese of Olympia are automatically members of CADO, and we encourage your participation.
