“I appreciated everyone’s insight and honest comments. I thought many of the heartfelt conversations revealed a real need for open dialogue. I wonder how much of that would have occurred in a face-to-face meeting.”

—Rev. Bruce Frogge, pastor

Clergy of all denominations have gone through enormous change and redefinition, some of which has been by evolution. Much of it has emerged from the revolution of time, disputes, financial concerns, lack of support, and the myriad of other problems that present challenges. At the same time that profound change has been experienced, much remains the same. This workshop featuring presentations by Dr. Dick Gilbert will explore a new style of ministry that focuses on the three L's: leadership, learning, and leaping.

Seminar participants and presenters will share stories of their experience through email dialogue and identify issues of concern, history, definitions, theological statements, and models of ministry. Through this process the group benefits by learning from one another as well as from the presentations.
