Jerusalem Greer, Episcopal Church Staff officer for Evangelism, introduced The Way of Love to provincial faith formation leaders last year. (See The Way of Love Website). She's coming back to share new resources that dig deeper with individuals, small groups, and congregation.
We'll explore what it means to live the Way of Love past one program or program year. We'll also learn what we can do to help our people live the Way of Love fully - as individuals, in small groups, and as a congregation - at any age or season of life, as well as why it matter for their lives.
Jerusalem is Staff Officer for Evangelism in The Episcopal Church and member of the Way of Love Creative Team. Read more about her and find her essays on her blog. She lives with her husband and two teenage sons in rural Arkansas and, as a family, is attempting to live a slower version of the modern life.
