SUMMARY:Lay Catechist Training Registration
DESCRIPTION:A Catechist is a lay person authorized to prepare persons for Baptism\, Confirmation\, Reception\, and the Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows. They function under the direction of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Their work is deeply important in expanding discipleship within a congregation. \nThe course is designed to not just cover faith formation for children\, youth\, and adults\, but also invites participants to consider\, “What does it look like to offer congregational formation?” Throughout the course we will evaluate and adapt curriculum that is already available to meet their contexts. By course end\, each participant will have designed a program that they will offer to the congregation in the year ahead. \nApplicants for a catechist license must attend a six-session training course. Each meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on the 4th Tuesday of the month on Zoom. Below are the dates and subjects for each class. Applicants must attend all six sessions and complete a project to be licensed. Applications will close in July. The six sessions include: \n\nAugust 27\, 2024\, 6:00 PM – Faith Formation for Children & Youth\nSeptember 24\, 2024\, 6:00 PM – Faith Formation with Adults\nOctober 22\, 2024\, 6:00 PM – Formation in Congregational Life\nNovember 26\, 2024\, 6:00 PM – Curriculum Review and Development\nJanuary 28\, 2024\, 6:00 PM – Baptism and Confirmation\nFebruary  25\, 2024\, 6:00 PM – Project Review and Presentation\n\nApplicants may register for the course once they have submitted their Lay License Application and the Lay License Nomination form have been submitted by the priest in charge at their congregation. Please complete the registration below. \nRegistrants will receive an email with more details on the training in July.

SUMMARY:Parochial Report Training - Feb 2025
DESCRIPTION:2024 Parochial Report – The parochial report filing season opens in early January\, 2025. The 2024 parochial report has been simplified by the General Convention Office. Join diocesan treasurer Jeff Martinhauk and Finance Committee Member Terry Farrelly in this review of changes to the report\, including changes in the way your congregational assessment (Common Life Share) is calculated. (The total amount of CLS owed should not change\, but the new report requires a new formula.) Note that parochial reports must be submitted by March 1\, 2025; the General Convention office tells us that the parochial report online portal will be frozen at that time\, and any changes after 3/1/25 may only be submitted by diocesan administrators. Don’t be late! Join us on February 6\, 2025 at 4:00 pm and stay ahead of the game. \nRegister Here\n

SUMMARY:BIPOC Leadership Link-Up
DESCRIPTION:The Bible is filled with stories of God bringing together leaders of unique backgrounds and common interests in order to bring about life-giving change. Ruth and Naomi\, Mary and Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke\, or the gathering of the disciples in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles\, are all examples of God nurturing connection for God’s own transformation. \nMany of us know firsthand the importance of co-creating trusted\, sacred spaces of mutual support for people of similar circumstances. Think of your congregation’s men’s group\, women’s group or youth group\, and how these ministries have nurtured the faith journeys of those involved. Leaders of color\, or leaders from ethnic-minority backgrounds\, may long for their own trusted\, sacred space. \nAnd so\, BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color) leaders from EDSD’s various congregations are invited to link up on Saturday\, Feb. 8 from 2-4 PM at Cafe X to make new friends and cultivate connections. There will be space for mingling and networking\, as well as for large-group structured conversation. Light snacks will be provided\, and beverages will be available for purchase at Cafe X’s coffee bar. We hope you’ll join us for this landmark event. \nBIPOC Leadership Link-Up \n\nWhen: Saturday\, Feb. 8\, 2025\, 2-4 PM\nWhere: Cafe X – 1835 Imperial Ave.\, San Diego\, CA 92102\nCo-hosted by: Alyson Terry – Resurrection\, Ocean Beach; Karla Chavez – St. Matthew’s\, National City; Stephen Arturo Greenlaw – St. Luke’s\, North Park; Rachel Ambasing\, EDSD\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:John Philip Newell Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Spend a weekend at Camp Stevens with John Philip Newell! February 21-23\n\nIn 2016 John Philip Newell began a teaching initiative of annual retreats to help reawaken awareness of the sacred in all things through the recovery of Celtic wisdom for today and to help translate this awareness into compassionate action in our lives and world. \nCeltic Wisdom 1 is the first of a three-part series of annual retreats led by the Celtic teacher John Philip Newell and his colleague Cami Twilling. In it\, we explore the sacredness of every human being\, the sacredness of the feminine\, and the sacredness of Earth. \nThe teachings of this retreat are based on John Philip’s award-winning book Sacred Earth Sacred Soul: Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to What Our Souls Know and Healing the World (especially Chapters 1\, 2\, and 7 drawing on the wisdom of Pelagius\, Brigid\, and Teilhard de Chardin). \nJohn Philip Newell’s Sacred Earth Sacred Soul is the essential text for the three-year Celtic Wisdom program. The shared prayer book for this program is Sounds of the Eternal: A Celtic Psalter. \nCeltic Wisdom 1 can be taken as a stand-alone retreat or in conjunction with Celtic Wisdom 2 and Celtic Wisdom 3 which can be attended in any order and at any of our retreat centers nationwide or online. \nWe are partnering with our neighbors at Sacred Mountain Ranch (https://www.sacredmountainjulian.com/julian) to provide additional upscale accommodations. Choose the commuter rate and stay close by! Contact Sacred Mountain Ranch directly. Discounted options are available with code: b082132

SUMMARY:Leadership Academy 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 1 for Leadership Academy\, a day dedicated to learning\, growth\, and connection within our diocesan community. This is an opportunity for clergy and lay leaders—both new and experienced—to come together\, explore new ideas\, and develop skills for impactful ministry. One of the most remarkable blessings of our diocese is the depth of wisdom and talent within its leaders\, and Leadership Academy celebrates and builds upon that shared strength. \nBeginning the day with Holy Eucharist in the sanctuary of St Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in San Diego\, we will ground ourselves in worship and prepare for a day of learning. Throughout the day\, there will be opportunities to connect with friends and colleagues from across the diocese\, deepening the relationships that support our shared ministry. We will close with a time of reflection\, centering God in all that we do and marking our commitment to serve with courage and love. \nLeadership Academy offers the chance to choose\, à la carte\, from three tracks\, each designed to inspire and equip you for leadership in diverse contexts. \nSTORYTELLING \nCrafting Compelling Narratives for Ministry \nExplore how storytelling captures attention and keeps readers engaged. This session will demonstrate the power of weaving a consistent narrative layer into your long-form content to attract and retain a loyal readership. Learn practical techniques for making your writing more compelling and memorable. \nStories in Motion: Lessons from A Case for Love \nJoin Grace Based Films Director Brian Ide\, whose recent nationwide release A Case For Love has captivated audiences\, for an engaging session on video storytelling. Using excerpts from the film\, we’ll explore how to share impactful stories through video\, focusing on techniques that resonate and inspire. Whether you’re new to video or looking to enhance your skills\, this workshop will provide valuable insights into crafting authentic and compelling visual narratives. \nThe Art of Visual Storytelling \nDiscover the art of storytelling through photography. This session will explore how each photo tells a unique story\, covering photography basics and why photos look the way they do. Learn how to use images effectively to share the mission and vision of your church with authenticity and impact. \nWELCOME \nAccessibility in Action \nJoin the Accessibility Group from St. Dunstan’s as they share their journey toward creating an inclusive and welcoming campus.

This workshop features leaders from Uptown Community Services\, EDSD’s LGBTQIA+ Inclusion Taskforce\, and EDSD’s multicultural congregations. You are invited to this honest\, reflective and generative conversation on how we can better live into our declaration of Christ-like welcome. \nFOUNDATIONS \nSafe Church\, Safe Communities  \nThis session focuses on the Church’s responsibility to ensure safety\, integrity\, and trust within its community. Participants will receive training on ethical and theological expectations placed on church workers/volunteers\, the impact of misconduct\, and the Church’s commitment to creating spaces where individuals and families are secure and valued.

SUMMARY:Going Deeper in Prayer: St. Teresa of Avila’s The Interior Castle
DESCRIPTION:To read The Interior Castle is to put yourself in the hands of an extraordinarily qualified faith mentor – Teresa of Avila – who well understands both our desire and our struggle to connect with God. Teresa’s primary metaphor throughout this book (her most famous work)\, is that the human soul is an “interior castle” or a series of “dwelling places” of great grandeur\, beauty\, and value … and it is here that we both find life with God and find nourishment for the work we are meant to do in the world. This study will reflect on the seven “dwelling places” outlined by Teresa\, one each week\, and will be led by Laurel Mathewson\, who recently published an updated edition of the text. Books available online\, at many bookshops\, or at St. Luke’s (any edition is fine!).To join\, email Mtr. Laurel to sign up and receive the zoom links: laurel@stlukesnorthpark.org.
