For a detailed description of Building An Inclusive Church trainings look here, but to summarize: Building an Inclusive Church trainings get lay and rostered leaders of the Lutheran Church (and any other religious traditions) ready to do the work of inclusion in their communities. They cover faith based community organizing, scriptural engagement, strategic storytelling, and the Reconciling in Christ process. Participants are provided with helpful resources and meet others in their area doing similar welcoming work. It's a time to grow spiritually, to learn about one another and to get pumped up to do the work of inclusion at home.

--------------------------------------------
At both trainings each participant is requested to obtain and read a copy of Doing Justice: Congregations and Community Organizing by Dennis A Jacobsen. This book, available online for about $14 from Amazon, will enable you to understand more quickly the organizing concepts used in the training.
Additionally, if finding accomodations is a barrier for you, limited host housing is possible on a first-come, first-served basis. Every effort to assist with transportation to and from the church will be made, but cannot be guaranteed. Participants requesting host housing should check the box on the registration form indicating that request. If needed, ground transportation to and from host housing will be provided.
We hope that some of you can attend. Even if you can't, invite others who may be interested! We'd be happy to meet new folks.
