CADO President Jane Maynard
2012 Clergy Conference April 16-18
Dear Friends:
Your CADO Board has been hard at work planning for our joint Conference with colleagues from the Diocese of Spokane. I'm pleased to announce the agenda for our 2012 Clergy Conference. Our conference theme is: The Future Is Now: The Shape of Leadership in The 21st Century Church.
We are privileged to welcome Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, as our keynote speaker. Bishop Katharine will be with us Monday and Tuesday. Her first presentation, on Monday morning will be more formal. The remaining two sessions will have a conversational tone with ample opportunity for dialogue.
Worship for the conference will be planned by a cooperative team of clergy from both dioceses.
On Wednesday, there will be an opportunity for clergy from both dioceses to gather together with Bishop Rickel and Bishop Waggoner. Following that session, clergy from each diocese will meet with their own Bishop to address issues specific to their context.
We are excited about this format and expect a wide-ranging and thoughtful discussion on the challenges and opportunities of ministry in this time of unprecedented change.
Our conference location, Suncadia Resort, offers a breathtaking natural setting, great food, comfortable accomodations, and a relaxing Northwest lodge atmosphere. There are opportunities for a variety of outdoor activities, along with cozy lounges and fireplaces, perfect for chatting with friends or curling up with a good book.
As always, we look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. We certainly hope that you'll be able to join us this year. Don't hesitate to be in touch with one of your CADO Board members if you have questions or need more information.
In peace,
Jane

Session Descriptions for Clergy Conference
.Session #1 Being Church in the Twenty-First Century
Presentation by the Presiding Bishop
What does it mean to be church in the 21st century? To be the Episcopal Church? What vision is developing in light of the changing landscape of ministry and membership? Are we open to rethinking, even reinventing how we function? What kinds of structural changes are needed to allow us to respond effectively to this changing landscape of ministry? What risks is the Spirit inviting us to take in this new day?
Session #2 Leadership and Spirituality for Leadership in the Twenty-First Century
A Conversation with the Presiding Bishop
What qualities of leadership are needed in the evolving church? What new models of ministry are being called forth (e.g., leaders as educators and advocates)? Is the nature of orders changing in the light of a changing church and culture? How can we best encourage our young adults in ministry and how may we best equip and support them for leadership? What practices and attitudes help to create healthy and whole leaders?
Session #3 Being a Local and Global Church in the Twenty-First Century
A Conversation with the Presiding Bishop
What does it mean for the Episcopal Church to be a member of the Anglican Communion
today? What are the most critical social, environmental, geopolitical and theological issues we face as a communion? How can we best collaborate globally, regionally, and locally to address the challenges we face? What are the implications of these challenges for the life of our congregations?
