SUMMARY:CCD Saturdays 2026-27 - Year A
DESCRIPTION:September 19\, October 17\, November 21\, January 9\, & February 6\n8:30 am to 4:00 pm \nLunch and light breakfast provided \nFor those who prefer\, we offer a Five-Saturday option to attend the College for Congregational Development beginning every Fall.

Year A focuses on the spiritual life\, self‑awareness\, and internal capacity of congregational leaders and communities\, establishing the theological and relational foundations necessary for effective congregational development and adaptive change. Participants will work on facilitation skills\, transformational listening processes\, organizational systems\, understanding who they are as leaders\, trust building\, conflict management\, and sustainability. \nCost of participating is:\n$750/person or $700/person if you come as part of a team\nTuition assistance is available if needed \nPlease reach out to Matt Koski (mkoski@ecww.org) with any questions.

SUMMARY:Anti-Racism Training
DESCRIPTION:September 26\, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm \nThis one-day training experience is based on “Seeing the Face of God in Each Other: The Antiracism Training Manual of the Episcopal Church.” We will begin with the conviction\, grounded in the Baptismal Covenant\, that we are all children of God who still bear the image of God. From there\, we will learn (or refresh our learning) about the history and teachings of the Episcopal Church regarding race and racism. Participants will analyze the dynamics of power and oppression so that they can engage in the visioning of an alternate reality for the church and society. That vision for us is the creation of the Beloved Community. As we are always in a state of becoming\, this training seeks to help us move along the path of dismantling racism. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Following in the Footsteps of Paul: A Pilgrimage to Greece and Turkey
DESCRIPTION:October 8–19\, 2026\nEarly registration discount ends: December 31\, 2025\nRegistration closes: April 1\, 2026\nFull payment due: July 1\, 2026 \n$5\,999 Registration per Person (Double Occupancy until 12/31/25)\n$6\,149 Registration per Person (Double Occupancy from 1/1/26)\n$1\,500 Single Supplement (Limited Availability) \nLeader: The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason \nGreece has often been called the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of Western Civilization. It\, together with Turkey\, is also the earliest home of Christianity outside of the Palestine/Israel. Led by The Very Rev. Steven L. Thomason and local archaeological guides on the ground\, this 12-day pilgrimage traces the footsteps of Paul in Greece and Turkey as he engaged the early Christian communities there. Our journey will take us to the well-preserved ruins of Athens\, Corinth\, Philippi\, and Thessaloniki in Greece. Along the way\, you’ll marvel at the byzantine monasteries perched on the cliffs of Meteora. In Turkey\, we’ll visit Smyrna and Pergamum\, two of the churches to whom Revelation was written to encourage them during troubled times. On our last full day we’ll explore Ephesus\, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Letter to the Ephesians is a remarkable witness to Paul’s courage and encouragement to the beleaguered Church. Note: Our schedule may be adjusted based on guide availability. \nFull details\, including pilgrimage brochure\, can be found at saintmarks.org/learn/wisdom-school/pilgrimages/
