Challenges of Leadership Seminar in Connor Diocese
More than 40 clergy and lay people from Connor Diocese attended a seminar on the Challenges of Leadership led by a team from the Churches Pastoral Aids Society (CPAS).
At the Challenges of Leadership Seminar in St John’s, Ballyclare, are, from left: The Rev Paul Dundas, chair of Connor Training Council; Archdeacon Stephen Forde, Training Council; the Rev Andrew Cowley, speaker, CPAS; the Rev Paul Hoey, CPAS; and Mr Peter Hamill, Connor Diocesan Training Co-ordinator.
The event, organised by Diocesan Training Co-ordinator Peter Hamill, took place in St John’s Parish Halls, Ballyclare, on October 12.
The Rev Paul Hoey from CPAS introduced the Rev Andrew Cowley who explored issues of leadership in parish life.
Following the seminar, Peter Hamill said: “It was good to see a range of clergy and lay people working together in leadership in our parishes.”
Archdeacon Stephen Forde of Connor Training Council said: "The conference gave an insight into the importance that character plays in leadership."
The Ballyclare seminar will now be followed by two further seminars, also delivered by CPAS. These provide an opportunity for parishes to look more in-depth at key issues in development, and take place on November 4 in St John’s Parish, Malone, Belfast, and on November 17 in St Patrick’s Parish, Ballymena.
