Peer Networking

One of the most important aspects of Gathering of Leaders is the vast peer network you establish during by becoming a member.

The time and space lends itself to meaningful conversation, strategic planning, laughter, and vulnerability – all with a group of peers that share a similar journey

Renewed Energy

You need energy to make it through the year of ministry, care, and growth, and Gathering of Leaders cultivates that.

We structure each Gathering so you can get a renewed energy through meaningful teaching, natural conversations, a relaxed environment, and sharing stories that inspire and engage.

Practical Application

It seems like it is always the same old story – attend a conference only to come home with a lot of great ideas, but few ways to implement them.

Gathering of Leaders leverages real life experiences from our clergy members and through peer-learning offers real, practical, and implementable strategies that you can use in your local context.

Growing the Networks

The Gathering of Leaders has experienced a successful Bi-vocational and Lay Leader Gatherings in the Fall of 2022. We’re excited to connect with these leaders at additional gathering, some of which are already in the planning stages! 

We’re also really excited to have rolled out our new Mighty Networks platform, which seeks to replace the current members-only Facebook page. The Gathering of Leaders on Mighty Networks provides a place for intentional community, resourcing and growth.

Reflection on Lake Logan – The Rev. Neil Raman

Unity and division are the often—but not always—unspoken subtext of life in the city of Pittsburgh. Even setting ecclesial division of the last decade aside, Western Pennsylvania is a study in unity finding a place in the midst of division. Layer sits upon layer. Neighborhoods rooted historically in language and nation of origin draw lines across a city that is divided in more expected ways. Like much of the country, it divides on issues of…

Participant Reflections

He said yes.

David Hoover attended our Lay Gathering Chicago in the Spring of 2023 and offers this excellent reflection on his experience:  A priest friend invited me. I had never heard of the Gathering of Leaders. She said this was something that I would love and was eligible for since lay people…

A secret society

Canon Katie Clark offers this insightful reflection after attending the Chicago Lay Leader Gathering.  “How did you get invited into the secret society?” This question came from a clergy colleague who has always wanted to attend Gathering of Leaders.

Treasure Beyond Price & June ENEWS

The Rev. Jen Fulton offers this essay on her experience at the 2023 Kanuga Clergy Gathering:  A wise woman once said to me, “I love Jesus, but I don’t always care for His fan club.” It is  probably not very priestly to admit this, but I completely empathize with this…
