Renewal, Strength, Whimsy and Grace: The Effects of Clergy Peer Learning |
|
|
|
|
According to John Wimmer, Program Officer at Lilly Endowment, Inc., the Sustaining Pastoral Excellence (SPE) program has involved 1300 clergy peer learning groups at 63 institutions involving 13,000 pastors nation wide. In addition, there are several other projects involving clergy peer learning that are not related to the SPE grants. During the Sustaining Pastoral Excellence Project Report at the Annual Conference, leaders will draw on this rich experience in discussing particular approaches to clergy peer groups, questions that are raised by particular projects, and what is being learned from the different emphases.
