NEWS FOR THE WEEK OF March 4, 2015
Ordination Rescheduled for March 7

Activist priest and author The Rev. Malcolm Boyd dies at 91
By Kay Collier McLaughlin on February 27, 2015

Are You Running with Me, Jesus exploded into my world just after its 1965 publication. My original copy is highlighted, underlined and contains brittle, yellowed pieces of paper scribbled with "St. Ann's, Pg. 13; 96"; "Advent 1975' Pg. 100". The grand collision of Malcolm Boyd -- poet, Freedom Rider, activist priest; a new seminary graduate named Joel; parenthood in a time of racial unrest; and the Cuban Missile Crisis was enough to turn the young mother's prayer group into a silk dress and pearls kind of mafia, attending peace rallies and sit-ins and daring to say that the church just wasn't 'getting it." We might not be able to be ordained, but we could, by God, try to save the world for our children, who hopefully would never have to experience the kind of things that ignited our stark fear for them, and our passion to fix it.

It all came rushing back to me when I heard that Malcolm Boyd was in a coma in a Los Angeles hospital. This afternoon, he died of complications from pneumonia. He was 91 years old, but in my mind, he was one of the ageless ones, boldly wise in his younger years, life-honed young in thought as he aged.

Sessions begin on Friday afternoon at 5:45 and conclude at 4pm on Saturday. Former participants as well as first-timers are welcome space-available.

Former participants say: "I have been to many kinds of leadership training, but the opportunity to actually experience concepts and then to reflect on the theory that I have just experienced come to life is unique, and helped me carry then things I learn with me in a way that I could quickly apply to my leadership roles at church, in my work, and at home, as well."

"I wasn't sure about spending this much time on a weekend, but I came away with so many ah-ha's about myself, other people and situations. Not only did I get an idea why some things don't go the way I've hoped or planned, but what I can do as both an individual and a leader to bring more health and effectiveness wherever I am."

Cost for the training is $25, checks made payable to the Diocese of Lexington, memo Leadership Training. Mail to Box 610, Lexington KY 40588.
