SUMMARY:NT-NL Leadership Convocation
DESCRIPTION:We are planning for this to be a hybrid event\, offered both in person* and online. \n*capped at 35 to be able to safely physically distance\, with everyone on site masked when indoors or within 6 feet of another person \nClick here for a detailed schedule. (as of October 13) \nClick here for the Monday Evening Prayer. \nWe will be focusing on how to capitalize on the new things you have been doing. How to turn our reactions and fast learnings in pandemic into more long term parts of our life. To live into the hybrid in person/online future that is a reality for us all. \nTo assist us in this work we will be led by Dr. Alicia Granholm. Dr. Granholm has two decades of experience in church leadership in mainline and non-denominational settings in the United States and abroad. Most recently she has been coaching four of our NT-NL congregations who are involved in the Leadership for Faithful Innovation Cohort that Bishop Gronberg highlighted in his 2021 synod assembly report. She will work with us on a theology of innovation as well as how to make new things become part of our life. Joining her will also be\, living into our hybrid culture\, online conversation partners that will enrich our time including folks from the Innovation Lab with the ELCA Churchwide office. As we address today’s biggest challenges and opportunities\, the ELCA Innovation Lab is a space for the church to generate ideas\, unleash creativity\, and create positive change in the world God so loves. \nDr. Cláudio Carvalhaes is a professor of liturgy and worship at Union Seminary in New York. He will be joining us online to facilitate conversation about worship and life in our new reality. Carvalhaes\, a native of Brazil\, has both studied and is a cross cultural scholar. He will help us think theologically about our praxis of worship in person and online. To consider practices that engage all participants as much as possible in the liturgy\, the “work of the people.” Dr. Carvalhaes is featured in this August 26 article: Ten Theology Books to Watch For. \nIt will be a good time for us to gather\, think together\, and learn. \nRegistration closed at 12noon on Friday\, October 15. We are not able to allow for late or same day / walk in registrations for this event. \nOvernight lodging at Briarwood is not available this year due to delayed repairs. If you have registered to attend in person and have not already contacted Jason to arrange housing\, you will need to do so on your own. \nDisclaimer: In the interest of safety and public health due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we reserve the right to enforce public health and safety measures\, depending on the conditions at the time\, at our discretion.

SUMMARY:Systems Theory and Anxiety workshop
DESCRIPTION:When: January 7th\, 1-2pm Central\nCost: Free\nVenue: Zoom (see link below)\n\n\n\nDeacon Mary Ann Schwabe’s presentation will give a refresher course on System Theory and dig into how anxiety affects all of our relationships and the systems – family\, congregation\, society. Discussing the difference between chronic and acute anxiety\, this presentation is intended to give us language for ongoing conversations throughout 2021. \nThroughout 2020 church leaders have experienced new and different forms of pressure. 2021 will bring another set of these pressures as we continue to engage an environment of pandemic\, political challenges and division in society. Anxiety increases tension\, understanding your role as leader in that anxiety\, owning that\, and processing it will make you a more effective leader. \nMary Ann Schwabe is a Deacon who serves as the Natural Systems Coordinator in the Office of the Presiding Bishop for the churchwide office in Chicago. \n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/94824486019?pwd=NnVwTUpIN3BKWmVHMTdRMzFvQzdtdz09 \nMeeting ID: 948 2448 6019\nPasscode: 918223 \nOne tap mobile\n+13462487799\,\,94824486019#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,918223# US (Houston)\n+16699006833\,\,94824486019#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,918223# US (San Jose) \nDial by your location\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington D.C)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 948 2448 6019\nPasscode: 918223

SUMMARY:Conversations at Briarwood: Public Faith\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:How can politics be faithful? Christians in the United States are of many different minds. Sometimes\, church can feel hyper-partisan. Other church folk want to disengage from politics. Are there really only two sides to community issues\, and do we always have to disagree? How do faith and fear shape our response to the world as we seek to live in love as followers of Jesus? How can our participation in civic life be grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? \nAs the US approaches “Election Day” in the election season already underway\, these upcoming “Conversations at Briarwood” with prominent Evangelical leaders Hunter Baker and Shane Claiborne will help us explore these questions together. The divide between evangelical and mainline Christians in the US can sometimes seem like we’re the Republican and Democratic parties at prayer. How can we get beyond partisanship to the task of crafting new forms of public faith? \nConversations will be online\, using Zoom.

SUMMARY:Online Synod Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 26\, 1:00-4:30pm \n*For Voting Members attending today\, friendly reminder we will need to occasionally lock the webinar (meaning you will not be able to join) when we need to produce credentialing reports and do voting. You can find the approximate times in the proposed agenda.* \nREGISTRATION DETAILS: \n\nVoting Members registered in advance (by Friday\, September 18) to be able to attend and vote in this year’s Assembly. You will receive a reminder email from Zoom containing information about joining the webinar the day before\, and one hour before\, Assembly. You may need to check your junk / spam folder. Once you log into the Zoom webinar\, be sure your name reflects how you registered so that you can be confirmed and allowed to vote. \nWe will be live streaming to the NT-NL Facebook page (no account required) and recording this event for all other attendees. \n\n\n— — — \n\nTo access the Assembly Reference Materials: https://www.ntnl.org/2020-assembly-reference-materials/ (more items to be added in the coming weeks) \nImportant notes for this year’s Assembly: \nThanks to our good stewardship in previous years\, we can offer this online experience at no cost to congregations. \nEach voting member will need their own email address to register\, and they will need to log into the Zoom webinar on September 26 with that same email address. \nEach voting member will need to access the Zoom webinar with their own device to be able to vote. Ideally\, this would be a computer so that polling (our voting option this year) is easily seen and accessed. If a tablet or phone is the only option\, we highly recommend practicing before Assembly on how to access all the functions of Zoom webinars on each device\, specifically where to find the poll option in a timely manner when that opens for each ballot. \nIf any voting member does not have access to any type of device to be able to login into (not call into) the Zoom webinar\, please contact jason@ntnl.org as soon as possible\, and we will research options. We will need to know this by Monday\, August 31. \nIf any voting member needs translation in Spanish (there is a language interpretation option within Zoom webinars)\, please contact jason@ntnl.org by Monday\, August 31\, and we’ll do our best to get that set up. \nEvery voting member must be registered by Friday\, September 18. No exceptions\, no late registrations\, and no “walk-ins” will be allowed this year. There are more requirements for online voting than in person\, and we need time to implement them to ensure every voting member can be confirmed and their votes are secure. \nWe will hold two orientations (30-45 minutes each) prior to Assembly: Tuesday\, September 22\, 7pm\, and Wednesday\, September 23\, 11am. If you are new to Zoom or have ever had issues with Zoom or your device\, please plan to log in up to 30 minutes prior to the orientation to troubleshoot with Jason beforehand. We highly recommend every voting member attend at least one orientation to help us avoid being overwhelmed with requests the day of Assembly. \nWe ask that all Assembly\, including technology-related\, questions be routed to jason@ntnl.org. Especially starting Friday\, September 18\, and through Assembly on Saturday\, September 26\, the rest of synod staff and the Council executive team will be largely unavailable to answer questions as we plan for this new way of doing Assembly. Jason will be available to answer questions for you. We highly recommend each voting member start now on learning their device with Zoom and ask questions sooner rather than later. Please know we will do our best to support everyone\, and if folks wait until the day of\, we cannot guarantee their full participation (including being able to vote) in this year’s Assembly if we are inundated with requests. \nLet’s have fun with this. We’re all experimenting and learning. We appreciate your grace\, and we are praying for each of you. \nMore details forthcoming about this online experience. \nTo read Bishop’s announcement from July 28: https://www.ntnl.org/bishops-message-tuesday-july-28th-assembly-news/ \nTo review details from our original Assembly event page: https://www.ntnl.org/event/2020-synod-assembly/
