Ecumenical Workshop
Thursday, February 2, 2017 2:30PM and 3:30 PM New Bern Convention Center (Tryon A, Second Floor) PLANTING SEEDS TO GROW ECUMENICAL & INTERFAITH RELATIONS IN OUR DIOCESE The Rev. Bob Hudak, Ecumenical & Interfaith Officer for our diocese and The Rev. Jessica Stokes, staff member of the North Carolina Council of Churches, will offer an informative workshop on the role ecumenical and interfaith relations play in our common life together.
The Rev'd Bob Hudak
The Rev'd Jessica Stokes
This workshop has a twofold purpose: Bob will offer an invitation to all who would like to learn more about how we can grow a networking system, connecting us in the work we do in our respective communities as we open doors with ecumenical & interfaith partners to a future we perhaps haven’t possibly imagined. Jessica will share some resources currently available through the North Carolina Council of Churches. It’s good to know that our diocese has been involved with the NCCC since the Council’s founding in 1935 – and is now among the more than 20 denominations and conferences throughout our state. While the resources of the NCCC will be available throughout Convention at the Ecumenical & Interfaith Table, Jessica will present in particular the Partners in Health and Wholeness programs, helping parishes start or expand health ministries. With the prevalence of tier 1 and tier 2 counties in the eastern part of our state, this is an opportunity to learn about state-wide resources and how we can do far more together than we can do apart or on our own.
