Pandemic Sabbath: A Virtual Experience for Clergy
2022-05-10 - 2022-05-22
4-Part Series for Rest, Reflection and Renewal
These are hard times for all of us and especially for caregivers and frontline workers. Clergy are both. In this 4-part series, 15 clergy will have the opportunity to pursue a “Pandemic Sabbath.” Blanton-Peale will lead this time of rest, renewal, and community-building to support clergy in finding a greater sense of emotional well-being. Through a 4-part virtual program, the group will engage in interactive topics such as emotional literacy, trauma-informed cared, and resilience in leadership.
Pandemic Sabbath will be a 2-week virtual program during the weeks of May 7 and May 14. Each week will have two mornings (Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 AM – 12 PM) of interactive programming that includes the opportunity for community building with colleagues around topics relevant to leadership renewal.
Clergy are encouraged to consider ways they might lighten their ministry load during this 2-week experience.
Please use the “Register” button to fill out a brief application. Space is limited. Scholarships are available.
