2012 Breakfast and Clergy Leadership Series New Wineskins for the 21st Century Church It is an urgent moment for congregational leaders. The change that is around us and within the religious world itself places both burden and opportunity on clergy and other leaders. The wineskins that held the fruit of the vine in various institutional expressions of church in the past are not adequate for the emerging multiform, multiethnic, creative ferment that will give birth to God's kingdom in new ways if we can find the wineskins to nurture and hold it. Our 2012 Pastoral Leadership Series will help us explore questions such as, what are the new structures needed for the church to remain vital and relevant in this time of significant cultural, spiritual and generational change? How do we shift from a mechanistic to a more organic orientation? How do we empower and equip laity for ministry? How do we reach out to the "encore" generation (i.e. boomers) and those in the "wireless" generation who identify as spiritual but not religious and are reluctant to commit to certain institutional forms? The breakfast and series is open to clergy and lay leaders.
