At a recent planning retreat for St John's, Pine Meadow, participants were invited to add a hymn, read a passage from Scripture, ask for prayer or claim a time of silence as they sought God's yearning for the parish. After Peter Bushnell introduced Worshipful Work to all four vestries of the North Central Regional Ministry, they have agreed to change the structure of meeting agendas to enhance the support of spiritual leadership in the parish. Twenty clergy met on March 23 to begin planning for next year's clergy conference. The idea for the clergy supervision groups emerged from a clergy conference which I attended in 1991. The day was devoted to the issue of professional boundaries.
