He serves as a contributing editor to Christian Century\, and is the author of Trinity: The God We Don’t Know\, The Gifts of the Small Church\, Reading Augustine: A Guide to Confessions\, An Introduction to the Sayings of the Desert Fathers\, and Praise Seeking Understanding: Reading the Psalms with Augustine.  (Eerdmans\, 2007).

This represents a cataclysmic reversal of our social fabric that leaves most members of our neighborhoods isolated\, unknown and under pressure. This trend\, alongside the rise of massive income inequality and the suburbanization of poverty\, has turned the field of ministry of most of our churches upside down.\nWho is my neighbor? What are their concerns? What does it mean to love them? What does the future of our congregations look like in the context of this changed social reality?\nWe will spend time together during this workshop discussing an approach to these questions rooted in the methodology of faith-based community organizing.\n\n\n\n\nInterfaith Partnerships  — Nancy Ferree-Clark & Sandy Shinbo (Federal Way)\n\nLearn how the members of Federal Way UMC have built interfaith relationships with nearby faith communities through shared activities such as service projects\, an interfaith women’s reading group\, and visiting each other’s worship services.\n\n\n\n\nSPRC – with Jason Byassee  with Tacoma DS Cara Scriven\n\nFrom his book “Faithful and Fractured”\n\n\n\nAn overview:  Clergy suffer from certain health issues at a rate higher than the general population. Why are pastors in such poor health? And what can be done to help them step into the abundant life God desires for them? \nAlthough anecdotal observations about poor clergy health abound\, concrete data from multiple sources supporting this claim hasn’t been made accessible–until now. Duke’s Clergy Health Initiative (CHI)\, a major\, decade-long research project\, provides a true picture of the clergy health crisis over time and demonstrates that improving the health of pastors is possible. Bringing together the best in social science and medical research\, this book quantifies the poor health of clergy with theological engagement. Although the study focused on United Methodist ministers\, the authors interpret CHI’s groundbreaking data for a broad ecumenical readership. In addition to physical health\, the book examines mental health and spiritual well-being\, and suggests that increasing positive mental health may prevent future physical and mental health problems for clergy. Concrete suggestions tailored to clergy are woven throughout the book. \n\nCreating Contemplative Community — Andy Lang\n\nAs many of us experience disillusionment in the Church yet feel called by tradition\, social networks\, and our own personal histories to remain a part of it\, there is a need for transformative change. In this workshop\, we’ll explore how to move beyond disillusionment using contemplative practices and how to create and foster authentic community within our own contexts. Participants will walk away with concrete examples of how to start a contemplative community\, as well as access to further resources\, training opportunities\, and coaching.\n\n\n\n\nWorking Towards Earth Justice — Jessie Dye (Senior Campaign Strategist of Earth Ministry)\n\nWill share how faith communities have been part of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy and how local churches can be involved in the just transition toward sustainable energy resources.\n\n\n\n2:45 PM                Organizing a New District            Cara & Rich\n\n3:30 PM                Blessing\n  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Seattle Clergy Spiritual Day Apart
DESCRIPTION:Our spiritual guide will be Jamal Rahman a popular speaker on Islam\, Sufi spirituality\, and interfaith relations. Along with his Interfaith Amigos\, he has been featured in the New York Times\, CBS News\, BBC\, and various NPR programs. Jamal is co-founder and Muslim Sufi minister at Interfaith Community Sanctuary and adjunct faculty at Seattle University. He is a former co-host of Interfaith Talk Radio and travels nationally and internationally\, presenting at retreats and workshops.\n\n\n\nHe is the author of Sacred Laughter of the Sufis: Awakening the Soul with the Mullah’s Comic Teaching Stories and Other Islamic Wisdom; Spiritual Gems of Islam: Insights & Practices from the Qur’an\, Hadith\, Rumi & Muslim Teaching Stories to Enlighten the Heart & Mind; The Fragrance of Faith: The Enlightened Heart of Islam; and coauthor of Religion Gone Astray: What We Found at the Heart of Interfaith; Out of Darkness into Light: Spiritual Guidance in the Quran with Reflections from Jewish and Christian Sources; and Getting to the Heart of Interfaith: The Eye-Opening\, Hope-Filled Friendship of a Pastor\, a Rabbi\, and an Imam. \nJamal’s passion lies in interfaith community building. He remains rooted in his Islamic tradition and cultivates a “spaciousness” by being open to the beauty and wisdom of other faiths. By authentically and appreciatively understanding other paths\, Jamal feels that he becomes a better Muslim. This spaciousness is not about conversion but about completion. \n\n\n\nSince 9/11 Jamal has been collaborating with Rabbi Ted Falcon and Pastor Don Mackenzie. Affectionately known as the Interfaith Amigos\, they tour the country sharing the message of spiritual inclusivity. \nImam Jamal\, originally from Bangladesh\, has an abiding faith in the power of heart-to-heart connections to encompass differences and dissolve prejudices. He enjoys programs that celebrate life and unity through delight\, laughter\, and food. He has a private spiritual counseling practice serving individuals and couples\, and is available for interfaith weddings and ceremonies. Jamal offers a variety of classes and workshops\, including the popular “Blush of the Beloved\,” a course in spiritual deepening and discernment drawing upon the practices\, insights\, and wisdom within Sufism\, Hinduism\, Buddhism\, and Taoism.

SUMMARY:Puget Sound District Laity Retreat 2017
DESCRIPTION:Puget Sound District Laity Retreat 2017\n\n\nREGISTER NOW!\nLiving Into Call: God’s Plan for Me\nSaturday\, May 20\, 2017\nWarm Beach Camp\, Stanwood\n9:00 AM Check-In\n9:30 AM Program Begins\n4:00 PM Adjournment\n$20 includes lunch. Scholarships available. \n“You didn’t choose me\, but I chose you and appointed you so that you could go and produce fruit and so that your fruit could last.” John 15:16a \nJoin us for a Spring Laity Retreat at wonderful Warm Beach. This event is intended for all the laity of our churches\, members and leaders alike. With the leadership of Steve Ross\, we will be discussing that to be fruitful we need to be faithful in aligning an outward calling from the church with an inward calling of God. He will help us figure out what talents we bring to the table? \nWhat is God calling you to do\, in your church and in your life?  \nSteve Ross has served as a United Methodist Pastor and District Superintendent in the Oregon/Idaho conference and since 2012 he has been the Director of the Vital Church Project. His book Leadership and Organization for Fruitful Congregations is being used by many churches in the Northwest to think about a simpler and more effective approach to church governance.

SUMMARY:Vancouver All District Clergy and Lay Learning Event: Compassionate Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Register NOW!!\nWe are clearly living in anxious times.  Our communities are deeply divided and sometimes it’s hard to navigate how we are to move forward as individuals as well as faith communities.  Dr. Frank Rogers\, author of “The Way of Jesus\, Compassion in Practice\,” has been invited to help us circumnavigate our way into the future\, offering healing and hope in a broken world.  Following the way of Jesus\, Dr. Rogers offers a way to live compassionately “when our world threatens to consume us\, throbbing with boundless discrimination\, violence\, and greed.” \nThe Vancouver District invites you to join us as we develop our personal spiritual lives and explore practical ways to be compassionate in a fractured world.  It is our belief that Jesus offers us a real solution to the challenges before us.  And that solution is to act as God’s heartbeat; pumping grace into whatever community we find ourselves a part.  Together we will explore how Jesus teaches us how to be at peace and how we can help heal our anxious world in the months and years to come. \nWe will also be offering some Nuts & Bolts style trainings in the afternoon: \n\nFinance: Rik Jameson\nTrustees: Brant Henshaw\nStaff Parish Relations: Rev. David Nieda\nMission–Climate Justice: Myrna Manier & Stephanie Parsons\nDiscipleship – 30 Days of Glory: Janet Kourey\nPracticing Compassion in Anxious Times: Dr. Frank Rogers\nRoot\, Bloom and Grow – Greater NW Church Revitalization Process: Rev. Steve Ross\nRelationship-Fueled Transformation: Pacific Northwest with Rachel Neer\, Executive Director of Project Transformation: Pacific Northwest\n\nThis event welcomes all clergy and lay individuals. \nCheck-in begins at 9:30 AM. \nA simple lunch will be catered and child-care is available. \nPlease promote this event in your local church bulletin!

SUMMARY:Exploring New Ways of Walking With One Another in Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:In a reality where immigrants are threatened with deportation\, Muslims with registration\, and any stranger may be harassed as a danger\, Jesus calls us to love our neighbors. A lot of discussion about “sanctuary” is being expressed and shared. As Church\, we need to consider what “sanctuary” means\, what it looks like\, and how we may be able to offer it to those in need. Exploring other responses to these needs may help our communities to be safe places. \nYou are invited to pray\, study\, and propose ways that we\, as Church\, can: \n\nBe Hospitable\,\nOffer Sanctuary\,\nand Love One Another.\n\nPlease come with your experiences\, questions\, worries\, and ideas. \n“Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers\, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were there with them in prison\, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.”           – Hebrews 13: 1-3 \nPlease prayerfully consider this opportunity for sharing time about an important aspect of our current culture—invite others and bring a team from your church! \nREGISTER NOW!\nA light soup lunch will be provided.  Donations accepted.
