Many involved in deacon supervision have told AED that there is a post-COVID push for diaconal recruitment in their diocese. What tools are others using to successfully identify diaconal vocations?  Experienced practitioners will share resources, plus ample time for Open Space Technology discussions on deacon supervision topics of YOUR choice. This long-standing AED favorite is geared to the needs of archdeacons, deacon directors, and anyone interested in enriching, renewing or reviving their diaconal program.
