Lay-Led Congregations

Presenters
​Tammy Prather, Dave Penniman, Kim Zaugg, Ericka Hall, Marna Franson and Jim Mogensen

Description
A presentation in Lay Church Leadership 
 
Come hear from a diverse group of leaders including former Transition Officer: Tammy Prather, who facilitates this network and worked during the pandemic with lay-led congregations in the Diocese of Milwaukee. Our hope is to highlight the unique needs and challenges faced by an ever growing number of lay-led congregations.
 
The future will require churches and dioceses to continue to make shifts in their thinking, prepare for change and become more flexible, creative and agile particularly when it comes to clergy staffing. Burnout is a growing concern for clergy and lay-leaders alike. COVID-19 has exacerbated decline, funding issues and drops in regular in-person attendance. Lay-leaders at churches without clergy are increasingly concerned for their future especially in smaller, rural, aging or declining congregations. Come help us begin and shape the conversation, consider innovative solutions and discuss new ways forward for sharing the gospel and growing the kingdom of God in this new cultural landscape.

Dismantling Racism

Presenter
The Rev. Isaiah “Shaneequa” Brokenleg, Episcopal Church Staff officer for Racial Reconciliation
 
Description
Our country, and our church, are reckoning with our history of colonialism and white supremacy. Our tradition calls us, whenever we sin, to “repent and return to the Lord.” One path of repentance is repairing what has been broken by human sin. What does this mean for dismantling racism? Come have a conversation about land acknowledgements, reparations, repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery and other topics that move us towards right relationship and repairing the breach with our siblings of African and Native descent.
