SUMMARY:Enkei: Healthy Conflict for Strong Churches
DESCRIPTION:Church leaders often say they want to find a way to avoid conflict. The reality is that conflict is what allows us to grow. What we really need is a way to engage in healthy conflict that invites churches to respond to the polycrisis in our world today. The Healthy Conflict for Strong Churches workshop looks at the anxiety our systems are facing\, invites curiosity as to what that anxiety might be stirring for us\, and offers healthy conflict practices that can further our mission and ministry. \nThis workshop will focus on embodied practices\, tools and resources that church leaders may use to create strong teams that can not only address conflict in their leadership body in a healthy way but then use that conflict to engage the change and transformation that is desperately needed a time such as this. \nThe workshop will be offered October 20\, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Pacific Time (Noon – 3:00PM Eastern) via Zoom. Cost is $50/person and a reduced rate of $25/person is offered for churches sending three or more people. Learn more. Click HERE for the registration page. If you plan to register three or more from the same church\, email me for a special registration link.

SUMMARY:Afro-Christian Convention: The Fifth Stream of the United Church of Christ
DESCRIPTION:General Synod in 2023 recognized a fifth stream of historical significance for the United Church of Christ. Here in Keystone\, most of our congregations were nurtured in the Reformed stream. However\, we do have a few from the other prevalent streams: Congregational\, Christian\, and Evangelical. This fifth stream was historically grouped with the (white) Christian stream\, but there is much that distinguished them as a separate entity in our founding. At that Synod\, then General Minister and President\, Rev. Dr. John Dorhauer\, offered an official apology stating there were “always five” and shared his “grief that this fifth tradition had been willfully subjugated” for so long. \nRev. Dr. Nora Foust is planning a continuing education event on October 15th\, open to lay and clergy\, to continue the conversation started at Synod and with the publication of “Afro-Christian Convention: The Fifth Stream of the United Church of Christ” that same year. In this time of learning together\, we will explore the Afro-Christian Convention and refresh existing knowledge around the Christian\, Congregational\, Evangelical\, and Reformed traditions also present at our founding. \n“Afro-Christian Convention: The Fifth Stream of the United Church of Christ” is available from Pilgrim Press\, Amazon\, and your favorite local bookseller. This continuing education event is being offered with no fee in hopes that you will purchase\, and read\, the book ahead of our session for which we do ask that you register. \nClick here to register.

Dr. Bruce Epperly’s new book\, “The Jubilee Years”\, along with case studies\, will provide the content of this training. This focused Boundary Awareness Training is for planning for and living in retirement.

SUMMARY:Afro-Christian Convention: The Fifth Stream of the United Church of Christ
DESCRIPTION:This webinar qualifies for 2 hours of diversity\, anti-racism or cultural competency credits. Open to lay and clergy \nGeneral Synod in 2023 recognized a fifth stream of historical significance for the United Church of Christ. Here in Keystone\, most of our congregations were nurtured in the Reformed stream. However\, we do have a few from the other prevalent streams: Congregational\, Christian\, and Evangelical. This fifth stream was historically grouped with the (white) Christian stream\, but there is much that distinguished them as a separate entity in our founding. At that Synod\, then General Minister and President\, Rev. Dr. John Dorhauer\, offered an official apology stating there were “always five” and shared his “grief that this fifth tradition had been willfully subjugated” for so long. \nRev. Dr. Nora Foust is planning a continuing education event on October 15th\, open to lay and clergy\, to continue the conversation started at Synod and with the publication of “Afro-Christian Convention: The Fifth Stream of the United Church of Christ” that same year. In this time of learning together\, we will explore the Afro-Christian Convention and refresh existing knowledge around the Christian\, Congregational\, Evangelical\, and Reformed traditions also present at our founding. \n“Afro-Christian Convention: The Fifth Stream of the United Church of Christ” is available from Pilgrim Press\, Amazon\, and your favorite local bookseller. This continuing education event is being offered with no fee in hopes that you will purchase\, and read\, the book ahead of our session for which we do ask that you register. \nClick here to register.
