Leaders are Made Not Born

We will discuss ways to recognize and develop leadership gifts in your parishioners; how to entrust ministry to emerging leaders without taking unreasonable risks; how to care for and develop new leaders; and ways to give a higher priority to developing leaders by building clear leadership pathways.

Antioch Clergy Initiative: Recruiting and Deploying Leaders of Color…
For a variety of reasons, the ordained leadership of the ACNA lacks ethnic diversity. This lack of diversity hinders our province’s evangelistic imperative. Remedying this situation will require prayer and intentional plans for expanding our clerical leadership so that it includes diverse voices with unique insight on what it means to reach a changing world. This workshop will discus an initiative to increase the diversity of ACNA clergy for the sake of evangelism to all authentic gospel witness.

He’s also editing a book for InterVarsity Press titled, The New Testament in Color, which he describes as a “multi-ethnic commentary on the New Testament.”
