Known & Unknown: Ministry Leadership in Liminal Time

register now full conference information

---

Some call this is a ‘liminal season’ — a time when individuals and institutions are struggling with surprising forces inside and out, often experiencing disorientation, disengagement, and disenchantment. Leadership in ministry today requires dexterity in navigating the ‘known and the unknown’ of this time.

At this Vancouver School of Theology conference, we have invited presenters, workshop leaders, worship leaders, and preachers to offer wisdom into this liminal season from a variety of perspectives. We hope that students, alumni, and church leaders will engage and connect across diverse experiences to live into this liminal season with faithful leadership.

“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors”

—William Blake

Coming at the end of the Lilly Endowment funded Pathways Project — Leaders for a New Day — which has focused on renewing and strengthening Theological Field Education (TFE), we hope this conference will be attentive to ‘transitions’ and ‘integration’ as we all seek to attend to the threshold or liminal moments that face us.
