The School equips people to:

  • Look at current reality: Who are we? Where are we?
  • Discern the future: What is God calling us to be in this time and place?
  • Work on plans to get to the future: How do we get there?

Approach

Integrating personal faith and Anglican theological understanding, the School focuses on how individuals, groups, and whole organizations function. We draw on material from congregational and organization development, Both new and experienced leaders benefit from readings, discussions, case studies and other forms oflearning and, following the School, apply their learning to parish parojects.

The whole program is offered over two summers; participants can begin in either Year A or Year B. 

We will select participants by mid May, 2015. The program is for clergy and lay people; priority is given to parishes that send a team (including clergy).

The School aims for diversity in ethnicity, age and gender.
