Pursuant to our relationship of full communion under Called to Common Mission CDO can register rostered ELCA clergy if both of the following requirements are met:

1. You have secured the sponsorship of a bishop diocesan in the Episcopal Church USA. It is necessary for you to find a bishop who can support your deployment in the Episcopal Church. Registerting with CDO does not require that the bishop deploy you in his/her diocese.

AND

2.  You have submitted to CDO a consent form signed by your synodical bishop. This form gives consent for your registration with this office and certifies that you are a member of the clergy roster of that synod.
    Download this form (pdf). This and other forms are available at CDO Forms.

Upon receipt of these two documents CDO will send you a Registration Kit. Once you are registered with CDO, you will be subscribed to the Positions Open Bulletin and your Profile will be available for searching purposes.
For a detailed description of policies and procedures on the exchange of ordained ministers between the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America go to: The Orderly Exchange of Pastors and Priests under Called to Common Mission.
