Conference examines how to prepare and support pastors
How does the Mennonite
Church do a better job of
preparing and sustaining pastors, so they can lead healthy and vibrant
congregations?
One hundred pastors and church leaders from Canada and the U.S. gathered at Associated
Mennonite Biblical Seminary in early December to grapple with these issues. We
asked you to pray for this gathering in our early December message. Now we can
report on the valuable discussions and new awareness generated in the
conference.
The Summative Conference, December 1-3, brought together
representatives of the roles involved in preparing and sustaining pastors:
professors, conference and area church ministers, denominational leaders, deans
of Mennonite theological schools and pastors themselves.
Read a summary of the discussions and see photos of the
event on the Summative Conference news Web page.
