PRINTABLE BROCHURES

PLEASE NOTE:  After much prayerful consideration, we recently made the decision to conduct all our events online for the foreseeable future.  We are committed to making the necessary adaptations so that we may continue the “sacred ministry of reconciliation” that God has entrusted us with.  Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:1

Our brochures contain detailed information about our events, including dates, locations, fees, a registration form, a typical daily schedule, background information on our facilitators and special speakers, and more.  We encourage you to download a brochure for the event in which you are interested, both a copy for yourself and additional copies for friends and colleagues who you believe might also benefit by attending one of our training events.  Please note that both Advanced Clergy Clinic and Clergy Clinic are nine-day events, divided into three 3-day sessions; therefore, you should plan to attend all the dates listed behind each event. s2659,
