CREDO will build new faculty teams for 2012-13 conferences
|
|
On February 17, the Church Pension Fund Board of Trustees approved a three-year funding plan for CREDO Institute, Inc. for 2013-15. The funding continues CPG's support for CREDO's principal mission to address the health and wellness of clergy pension plan participants.
In the conferences that begin in 2012 and 2013, CREDO will continue to offer eight-day conferences including CREDO I, CREDO II, CREDO for Retired Clergy, and Spanish CREDO for eligible Church Pension Fund plan participants. New conference models and accompanying resources will be designed and developed for five-day conferences along with a reduced number of eight-day conferences.
In a letter to faculty members from Associate Director Gay Jennings in mid-March, CREDO announced that all the faculty teams for the upcoming 2012-13 conferences will be reconstituted and curriculum will be developed for new conference types.
Information on conference types and faculty positions and applications to be considered will be available on April 15 on the CREDO website. All former CREDO conference participants and readers of CREDO Connection will be alerted to the posting of these materials through CREDO Connection on April 15.

A Guide to Spiritual Practice
Since last summer, CREDO has e-mailed two reflections each month that focus on discovering routes to spiritual practice in everyday life and activities. This Guide to Spiritual Practice was so popular that CREDO has transformed the collection into a book titled Strength for the Journey: A Guide to Spiritual Practice. With an introduction by Brian Taylor and 20 refreshing reflections by Renée Miller, the book will be available in mid-May. The book is illustrated with stunning color images by photographer Diane Walker.

Lenten Letters
Daily reminders of transformation
| |
 Until Easter, CREDO continues Lenten Letters--daily e-mails that are reminiscent of short letters in both form and content. The Lenten Letters are based on the call letters IDPT, signifying Identity, Discernment, Practice, and Transformation, the core principles of the CREDO mission and pillars upon which the CREDO Conference experience is based.
For one minute each morning, Lenten Letters offer an opportunity to look with intention at these four areas in our lives. The series of daily reflections is available to anyone you know who would like to sign up. Access to the sign-up page and change your CREDO Profile to include Lenten Letters HERE.
