An Online Learning Event for leaders (educators, clergy, elders) in The Presbyterian Church in Canada
Wednesday, October 25
11:00am – 3:00pm EST
Actively watching and listening for God can bring life out of death for churches in crisis today. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Andrew Root and the Rev. Dr. Blair Bertrand based on learnings from their book, When Church Stops Working. Using clear steps and practices, church leaders are invited to stop the endless cycle of doing more. Instead, they are shown how to simply ‘be’ in God’s presence. During our day together we will build community, learn from Andrew and Blair, and share time in small groups with other ministry leaders.
Rev. Dr. Blair D. Bertrand is a lecturer at Zomba Theological University, teaching consultant with Theological Education by Extension Malawi, and adjunct lecturer at Tyndale University, Toronto. He has served various Presbyterian Church in Canada congregations as an ordained minister and lives in Ottawa, Ontario.
Dr. Andrew Root is Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Faith Formation in a Secular Age, The Pastor in a Secular Age, The Congregation in a Secular Age.
