This weekend I’m working with Marnie Peterson, Director of the School for Parish Development in the Diocese of New Westminster (British Columbia) and Carol Sedlacek, the Missioner for Camping Ministries in the Diocese of Oregon. We’re leading the Equipping the Saints program, a series of weekend workshops that introduce portions of the College for Congregational Development curriculum to lay and clergy leaders in western Oregon. Earlier this year, Equipping the Saints was held in Ashland, Portland, and the Oregon Coast. I’m pictured here with Carter Hawley, Archdeacon in the Diocese of Oregon and the Deacon at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, our host for this weekend. More photos to come!
