Words, Words, Words
One of the things we learned in the last few years is how to use new online tools to gather around shared interests. Recently, it was suggested to synod staff that we could start a book club for rostered ministers to gather online and discuss various faith & ministry related titles. After all, most of our "To Read" lists are so long already, let's help each other get through them! One of the leaders interested in the project suggested this didn't have to be limited to books, we could also meet to discuss relevant podcasts. Who knows how it might expand next!Â
This is an invitation to use this opportunity to connect with one another and to build up each other in ministry. It is an invitation to gather leaders of similar passions and interests around a common text. It is hoped that this will facilitate learning, community and conversation. The texts & topics will vary and the hope is that this variety will engage lots of folks.Â
"To Read" List
As we've thought about books to read and discuss together, we've realized that due to busy schedules, it's for the best if each book group sets its own schedule for how often to meet & when for each book. These are some books that we thought the rostered leaders of the synod would appreciate, would you tell us which you'd be most interested in reading?
If you have other books you're interested in with a faith, ministry, or rostered-minister-life related theme, please let us know at [email protected] We'd love to know the book title, author, and what sparked your interest in the book. Thank you!
