This year’s annual Leadership Conference for clergy and lay members of the diocese is devoted to Public Narrative; how we effectively, succinctly, and engagingly tell our story.
Keynote and lead presenter will be the Rev. Devon Anderson. In addition to her work as executive director of Episcopalians for Global Reconcilliation, Anderson was the project manager for the Episcopal Public Narrative Project.
More about the Episcopal Public Narrative Project
The Episcopal Public Narrative Project is a collaboration between Marshall Ganz, Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and Bonnie Anderson, the President of the House of Deputies of the Episcopal Church. After initial meetings with Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori in 2007, the project began with retreats for potential facilitators in 2008-09 and narrative training for deputations at this July’s General Convention in Anaheim. At GC09, four workshops were held covering: one’s own calling, shared calling, call to action, and putting it all together. The project continues as deputations bring the techniques and concepts back to the dioceses.
