The latest event of the series, titled “When Task and Ministry Collide,” explored Western culture, along with the call of the Vatican II which describes the goal of communion for the Church.
During the workshop, the 150 plus attendees were given time to discuss issues and how they impact ministry. For instance, the participants:
- Gained understanding about the culture of their teams
- Identified the practices that get in the way of communion
- Explored new ways of being with each other in order to fulfill the call to communion
Proving to be beneficial, the event created a platform for important discussions and critical thinking about communion in the Church. The workshop ended asking, “What can be done to more fully answer the call to communion?” Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below!
The IPS Speakers Bureau Workshop Series is presented through IPS Parish Leadership and Management Programs in service to the Church.
