Page 10 LEADERSHIP & FAITH TRA�SFORMI�G COMMU�ITIES KANSAS LEADERSHIP CENTER IN WICHITA MARCH 11-14 COST: TUITION, LODGING & MOST MEALS COVERED THIS IS THE LAST OFFERING FOR THIS PROGRAM. I am looking for 4-6 people to attend this very special event. We are preregistered and ready to go—we just need people to attend. Let me share with you what this program is about. Church teams will consist of 4-7 United Methodist (UM) members. Participants will meet for 2 program sessions (March 11-14 and October 21-23), and over 7 months they will have on-going contact with their assigned facilitator. The group will meet in Wichita. Training will focus on civic (community) leadership and its relationship to the UM faith community. The program involves action learning built around health (physical, social, spiritual, economic, mental) issues needing leadership in the community. Ongoing facilitation continues as the team applies community learning concepts. The Kansas Health Foundation (KHF) grant covers tuition, lodging, and most meals. This experience will prove different than anything you have experienced. It may be disorienting, and the facilitators will occasionally challenge the limits of your tolerance for abstract thought, perhaps provoking some anger. The curriculum is based on the Kansas Leadership center (KLC) competencies: Diagnose Situation, Manage, Intervene Skillfully and Energize Others, from the foundation of the Leadership and Faith Curriculum. So what’s this all about? Leadership and Faith Transforming Communities is a joint effort between the UMC, Kansas Health Foundation, and Kansas Leadership Center. It operates because of a 3-year grant with the specific objectives of: • Contributing to the revitalization of the Methodist Church in Kansas • Enhancing commitment to the community health, broadly based • Developing civic leadership capacity of participants • Enhancing commitment to community health—broadly defined • Developing civic leadership capacity of participants. Leadership and faith transforming communities initiative helps: • Communities and churches benefit from the vast leadership knowledge participants will receive. • Individuals more closely align their walk of faith with opportunities to improve community life. • Participants make more progress on the issues important to the churches. • Congregations make a difference in critical community health issues. • Church teams understand barriers/opportunities for more effective ministries inside/outside the church. I have heard from other pastors and churches that have participated in this, and they have exciting things to say about this program. I am sometimes cautious of the one-size-fits-all ideas for church leadership, so let me share a quote with you from Rev. Marilyn Gregory, whose opinion I trust: “Many leadership events suggest that if I just do what the presenter has done, then I can expect the same success as the presenter. The competencies taught by Leadership and Faith Transforming Communities take seriously the complexity of the problems communities face. Instead of a prescription for fixing congregations or communities, LFTC prepares its participants for leadership, even without authority, in the hard work of understanding the problem and, with others, making progress toward health.” I hope this looks exciting to our congregation and that we will have a good response!
