Three CREDO faculty members--Hartshorn Murphy, Jill Mathis and Jesús Reyes--helped facilitate a workshop on Clergy and Congregational Wellness at the 43rd annual UBE meeting and conference, June 27-July 1. Hartshorn led off with a plenary presentation followed by the three-person panel discussion.  

John E. Harris, Jr., the president of the UBE, is also a CREDO faculty member.  

CREDO Blogs offer refresher on CREDO Conference themes  


CREDO BlogsThis month faculty member Sam Portaro suggests that we all go sit in the corner. He says the posture and repose of repentance often "feels a little like being sent to the corner, and why it's good for us to sit there." See what Sam means at his blog VENI .

 

Vocation faculty member Matthew Stockard writes in the CREDO Vocational Blog Transforming Work that he is on sabbatical for three months. "When we look at its biblical origins, sabbatical isn't a time to prove ourselves, it's a time to stop," he says. But stopping sometimes takes some effort and planning.

   

What is your experience? Find several resources on sabbaticals in the

CREDO post-conference resources.

 

In her CREDO Blog Next Step$, finance faculty member Celeste Ventura petitions simply Disturb Us Lord. She asks if there are areas of our financial lives where we have sailed "... too close to the shore."

Let's talk about Money:

How do your attitudes affect your spiritual life? 

   

What are the money messages that not only reflect but guide our spiritual lives? Can a stewardship campaign miss the mark on raising the question of money in our spiritual lives??

Author and CREDO faculty member Renée Miller, as part of the CREDO Pentecost audio series on spiritual practices, lays out those very questions. Join the conversation here:
