Report on the Leadership For Public Life Institute

It was an inspiring event. Pastors sat next to union leaders. People who've struggled with homelessness sat next to community leaders.  People of faith sat next to people with no religious beliefs at all. What brought them together was a desire to act for the common good of our city and province. They came to learn how to lead a community so that it can act together to address the issues we all face. At the end of our Leadership in Public Life institute, 29 people left to go back to their communities with new leadership skills that will give them the ability to make a difference that they did not have before. They left with new relationships that cut across the lines that often divide our communities. They also left with a new capacity to act together.  This is the work we do together, through the Metro Alliance for the Common Good

This is how transformation for the common good begins to happen in a community. It happens through new relationships, as leaders are discovered and developed, and as people who were once divided learn how to listen and act together.
