Faith In Action: Authority in Our Congregation, Workshop 3: Power And Authority
In "Harvest the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Description of Activity
Investigate the ways your congregation authorizes its leaders (board members, committee chairs and members, religious education teachers, youth advisors and so on). Does a formal ceremony or ritual make the congregation's expectations of leaders explicit and initiate the empowerment of leaders? Consider working with the minister and/or a small task force to create rituals to make transparent the relational nature of authority in your congregation.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
