The Clergy Continuing Education Conference is intended to provide information on a topic of interest and use by clergy of the Episcopal Diocese of Fond du Lac as well as a time of of collegiality. All parochial priests of the diocese are expected to attend (if you are not able, please let Bishop Gunter Bishop Gunter know). Deacons and non-parochial priests are welcome to attend.
Program

The conference will focus on clergy re-connecting with their vocation. Sessions will be facilitated by Michael Binder, a member of the Faithful Innovations team who works with Dwight Zscheile. As founder and current Co-Lead Pastor of Mill City Church in Northeast Minneapolis, Binder brings a perspective of a church planter that will help look at ways to benefit by connecting with the core of a calling while innovating an approach to ordained ministry. Binder is a speaker at this summer's Faithful Innovation Summit where he examines how the church can benefit from innovation practices such as design thinking to discover and follow where the Holy Spirit is leading.
FacilityThe St. Anthony Spirituality Center, west of Wausau, is at 300 E Fourth Street, Marathon. Facilities are on 40 acres of woodland with paths and gardens in a rural setting along the Rib River. A new elevator should be up and running by the time of the conference.
Sleeping rooms share a communal bathroom with a limited number of suites with private bathrooms. We ask suites only be reserved by those who need it. Linens are self- service so participants make their own beds and remove linens at the end of their stay. The registration fee covers the cost of room and board. Additional expense (e.g. facility fees, speaker honoraria and expense) are supported through the diocesan budget and the Jane Lee Amaan Restricted Endowment.
