Annual Report 2020 (April 2021 E-News)

Apr 14, 2021

(Written as the editor’s letter for the April 2021 GOL E-News. Read the full newsletter here. Read the 2020 Annual Report here.) One of my favorite activities each Spring is reflecting on the previous year of networking and ministry that takes place throughout the Gathering of Leaders community. Looking back...

mOVING fORWARD (March 2021 E-News)

Mar 12, 2021

(Written as the editor’s letter for the March 2021 GOL E-News. Read the full newsletter here.) Or is that supposed to be “Moving Forward”? I don’t know if you feel the same way, but a year into the pandemic I often find it hard to complete a coherent sentence let alone lead,...

Enough Milk & Honey? (February 2021 E-News

Feb 3, 2021

(Written as the editor’s letter for the February 2021 GOL E-News. Read the full newsletter here.) As I look out upon the landscape ahead of the GOL clergy, it is one of continued pivoting due the pandemic, deep and often painful conversations over racial injustice and political unrest, and now...

How Was 2020 Like Friends? (January 2021 E-News)

Jan 14, 2021

(Written as the editor’s letter for the January 2021 GOL E-News. Read the full newsletter here.) I never in a million years thought I would be writing a letter to hundreds of Episcopal clergy that featured the immortal words of Ross Gellar from Friends — “PIVOT!” What a year! I have...

Leadership for What? (December 2020 E-News)

Dec 13, 2020

(Written as the editor’s letter for the December 2020 GOL E-News. Read the full newsletter here.) I know not every non-profit leader can say they leave an annual board meeting more energized, creative, and motivated than when they arrived, and for that I count myself lucky. The Gathering of Leaders’...

A Critical Point for a Changing Church

A Critical Point for a Changing Church

Nov 12, 2020

(Written as the editor’s letter for the November 2020 GOL E-News. Read the full newsletter here.) We have all been called into ministry at this time, in this world, and to our specific roles for a reason. I am dwelling uncomfortably in this liminal space and churning over the most...

Life: An Ever-Moving Target (May 2020 E-News)

May 20, 2020

(Written as the editor’s letter for the May 2020 GOL E-News. Read the whole newsletter here.) Whoever said that change is the only constant must have had a crystal ball showing them the year 2020. During a recent GOL Board Meeting we reviewed minutes from a prior meeting and we...

Reflection on Albuquerque – The Rev. Hannah Atkins Romero

Feb 19, 2020

As the snow began to lightly fall at the Bosque Center, this Houstonian felt like a kid at Christmas. It had been a long time since I had seen snowfall. I headed outside for a walk and was soon joined by a colleague that I had just met but who...

Reflection on Albuquerque – The Rev. Sheldon Hamblin

Feb 19, 2020

The Bosque Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico was the venue for the first GOL gathering for the new decade. The Bosque Center was designed to be a place for “Spiritual Renewal.” On many levels this was the ideal place for the Gathering of Leaders as we gathered intentionally focused on...

Reflection on Albuquerque – The Rev. Andrew Van Kirk

Feb 19, 2020

Lots of the extraneous stuff about my first Gathering of Leaders in Albuquerque was excellent: the food, the beautiful snowfall over the Rio Grande, the retreat house. But the real blessing was the opportunity to meet with and learn from other clergy from around the church — and not just...
