PIVOT FROM PANIC: DEACONS FOR A POST-PANDEMIC CHURCH
Thursday evening, March 4 - Saturday evening, March 6, 2021 Open Space notes from A3D are available here.
A newly designed A3D Conference, all online and affordable at $65.00!
For all those interested in deacon formation, supervision and pastoral care. Each diocese envisions the diaconate in a contextually customized way. When the context is in chaos, how do deacon leaders equip our deacons to serve for such a time as this? Join us for an online weekend among your peers in deacon formation and supervision. Thursday: Keynote and Conversation
The three-day event begins on Thursday, March 4, with An Evening of Reflection and Conversation on the keynote insights of The Most Rev. Linda Nicholls, Archbishop and Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. Archbishop Nicholls’ video keynote will be followed by facilitated conversation in Zoom break-out groups.

All deacons and their supporters may attend the one-evening event for $15.00 per attendee. Information and registration for the Thursday event is available here. Encourage your deacons to register.

The Thursday event is included in your Full A3D Registration. Friday Program
