Emergent Strategies for Liminal Times
Emergent Strategies for Liminal Times
July 16-23, 2023
July 16-23, 2023
We as religious leaders have been learning how to be strategic throughout the pandemic. We’ve adapted to multi-platform experiences and reimagined traditions from the “before times.” It’s been exhausting.
Now we are entering a new period of adaptation- what do we do next and how do we keep going? We hope Faith Development Week this summer can be a model for our future.
As we enter a new stage with COVID, FDW offers you a guide to help understand and approach today’s challenges while also providing ample relaxation and fun time with your family and community. Using emergent strategies, we will look at patterns in human behavior to expand our thinking into more effective ministry. Using beloved Star Island traditions and multigenerational events, we will create a balance of professional development and fun activities for all ages.

"I've heard about Star Island for years and for the life of me I don't know why it's taken me so long to get over there - see you all in this summer for a concert, some group singing, a Porch Chat, and a Worship Service." - David Roth
