Advance notice is given of a Conference for Stipendiary Clergy from lunchtime on Tuesday June 15th till lunchtime on Thursday June 17th 2010.
This is a chance for stipendiary clergy in the Diocese to meet together for study, worship and mutual support.
The 48-hour event will be now be facilitated by Duncan Wallace. Duncan is a Grubb Institute Associate, trained with the Tavistock Institute and with Grubb, and has been involved with the annual Transforming Clergy Leadership Conference as well as working as a consultant to the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles.
Duncan will bring a huge toolkit of resources to bear on the issues we hope to tackle in the conference: change management, burn-out, relationship-building, anxiety about changing roles, active listening skills, conflict, and so on. He comes highly recommended and has the advantage of being a local resource with on-going availability after the conference. His website is: www.ideasandideals.co.uk
Duncan will continue to make reference to The Human Face of Church: A Social Psychology and Pastoral Theology Resource for Traditional and Pioneer Ministry (the first chapter of which can be downloaded from here), a very practical book which draws on behavioural theory and organisational studies to equip local church leaders not only to manage change but to grow through it.
Just as the book deals with such questions as ‘How do you integrate the old with the new?’ ‘How do you manage change in an established congregation?’ ‘How do you cope with conflict?’, so will the sessions at the Conference deal with issues of relevance to priestly leadership today.
