Professor Jason Fout's
New Urbanism
Sustainable Lifestyle in Columbus

Bexley Hall Professor Jason Fout and his family are intentional about where they live and how they interact with their environment. He walks to work at Bexley Hall, his wife bicycles or takes the bus to work, and often they bicycle their two young children to school. They try to buy and eat local products, they compost, recycle, and try to be good neighbors and good stewards of the earth.

He models the sort of sustainable lifestyle that he also teaches about in classes on the New Urbanism.

Save the Date:  March 14, 10 am-3 pm at St. Paul's Episcopal Church

 Today's church and world require leaders who can facilitate adaptive change and inspire people to cultivate new consciousness, conscience and competence.

 

This workshop, led by prominent leadership author and consultant Sharon Daloz Parks, will draw on the insights of adaptive leadership guru Ronald Heifetz and others to consider how we form the inner lives of leaders, what it means to practice authority, and how we cultivate the arts of leadership on the edge.

 

Whether you are an emerging or established leader, lay or ordained, working in the institutional church or beyond--this workshop will inspire you to reassess and re-imagine the good that can come from your leadership and the change you want to create.

This event is sponsored by Bexley Hall and Seabury. Learn more and register for $20 per person.

The Feast of Richard Hooker

  

On November 3, 2011, the Most Rev'd Frank T. Griswold, 25th Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, preached at Dean Ferguson's installation. The service was a solemn evensong on the Feast of Richard Hooker.

The Desert Time
Bishop Griswold in the Duke Divinity Faith & Leadership Blog

Bishop Frank Griswold also talked recently with the Faith & Leadership blog at Duke about the future of the Episcopal Church:

"To use an image from the Old Testament, maybe this is the desert time," Griswold said. "The desert was a period of purification and self-knowledge in order that they were prepared to enter the promised land."
