Faith Communities in Transition

Every parish and mission has a different experience of what it is like when a Rector, Vicar, or Priest-in-Charge departs. Currently, we are working on creating different roadmaps to match the various experiences rather than continuing with a one-size fits all transition process. We are also curating a reading list that can be helpful for your communities and will have resources to help you along the way.

More information to come this spring!

“Creating more possibilities is my favorite aspect of emergent strategy – this is where we shape tomorrow towards abundance.”
