SUMMARY:Radical Hope: A Clergy Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A LeaderSHIFT Offering\nRadical Hope: A Clergy Retreat\nMonday September 29 – Thursday October 2\, 2025\nIn-Person at Naramata Centre\nThe prophet Habakkuk lived in a time of great turmoil and injustice. His short three-chapter book condemns both the corruption of his own people and the brutality of their enemies. Yet at the end of the book\, as Habakkuk faces into famine and destruction\, he sings of joy. \nWhat enables this kind of hope? Is this a delusion\, a spiritual bypass\, a vindictive taunt of Israel’s enemies? Or is Habakkuk actually filled with a radical hope that is not dependent on good outcomes? And if this is radical hope\, how do we get some of that? \nOur time together at Naramata will explore how we face into the storm of the world we live in; how we are connected (and why this is wonderful and awful at the same time); our work of giving attention; how we allow prayer to heal and equip us; and the sacramental practice of letting go. \nYou can expect to leave this retreat feeling refreshed. Better yet\, you can expect to identify the practices that will work in your own life\, to settle more deeply into your own call to ministry\, to connect with others for mutual support\, and to rest in a radical revision of hope. \nClick here for more information and registration!

SUMMARY:What The Hell? Queer Theology and Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:3 Part Series: Wednesdays\, Oct 15\, 22\, 29 – 6pm PT / 7pm MT / 9pm ET \nWhat is hell?
