Rabbi Alana Suskin of the Maryland Poor People’s Campaign, A National Call for Moral Revival, is an activist, educator, and managing editor of Jewschool.com. Among many things, her work includes helping Christian communities understand antisemitism and how to effectively advocate for the rights of Palestinians. She and Rev. Denise Anderson will offer a forum based on personal conversations they’ve had to discuss these issues and answer questions Presbyterians may have. Rabbi Suskin offers a distinct perspective on these matters, believing that Christians should have a critique of Israeli occupation that is in conversation with equally-concerned Jewish siblings.

2023-05-06 10:00 - 17:00 | Lacey Presbyterian Church, 3045 Carpenter Rd. SE, Lacey, WA, 98503, United States
Starting a new worshiping community is hard work that requires particular competencies in order to flourish. How can you know whether God has given you the gifts needed to start a new worshiping community? How can we all identify and encourage potential new worshiping community leaders? If God is calling us to start a new worshiping community, how can we best prepare? Exploring missional leadership answers these questions.
Exploring Missional Leadership is a daylong event hosted by mid councils and seminaries and led by 1001 national staff. Through presentations, active learning and group conversation, participants will be introduced to the nature of missional church planting and the competencies needed to do that work. Participants discerning a call to start a new worshiping community will be guided in identifying next steps to take in their own skills development. Participants involved in overseeing NWC work will be guided in ways to identify and cultivate potential new worshiping community leaders in their presbytery, congregation or circle of influence.
