Quadrennial Clergy Ethics Training
In the midst of a growing cultural revelation of sexual harassment and misconduct in our society, this seminar is an opportunity to consider the way trauma affects each of us - cognitively, emotionally, and theologically. In learning a bit more about trauma and our responses to it, we will also be able to better respond and care for others. As a result of time spent together, you will discover understanding, language and tools in order to be present with those who have experienced trauma in ways that are life giving for you and the people you serve.
Each quadrennium, clergy are required to participate in clergy ethics training designed by the Annual Conference. The Board of Ordained Ministry clergy ethics team has developed this day to provide clergy an opportunity to become more self-aware, encourage relationships with colleagues and parishioners, and equip clergy for ministry in our current cultural context.
10am-4pm (lunch provided)
Morning Session: "Changing the Question: Trauma-Informed Christian Ethics"
Afternoon Session: "Sexual Harassment and the Church"
Participation in both sessions is mandatory for all clergy actively serving under appointment or eligible to serve under appointment in WNCC. This includes clergy on extension ministry and on leave.
Cost is $10 per participant
Pre-registration and payment required by Thursday, May 3rd. Pay online or by check.
Participants may register and participate at any location regardless of their current appointment location.
