About the event
Workshop content will help Presbyterian leaders navigate and engage in critical tools needed for anti-poverty work and its intersections. Culled from the wisdom of Self Development of People’s history, mandate and 50 plus year work with community partners and mid-councils, this interactive workshop will also equip participants with missional, theological, and practical strategies centered around addressing root causes of poverty through networking and community building. This workshop will also explore leveraging congregational/communal power in engaging justice issues.
