Whether you are clergy or other church staff, we encourage you to take advantage of the learning opportunities and fellowship of the primary event shared by the Detroit and West Michigan annual conferences. Leaders are Dr. David W. Augsburger, Ph.D. Interim Dean and Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA. and Janet Lynn Wolf, an elder in the Tennessee Conference of The United Methodist Church. Currently on sabbatical leave, she was pastor of Hobson UMC, Nashville, TN., a dying urban congregation of about 30 elderly, white people when she arrived. It has undergone transformation to a community-connected, multiracial, intentionally inclusive, reconciling congregation of 150. She has preached at both Detroit and West Michigan annual conferences.
