Educational Event and IMA Annual Gathering

Our First Annual Gathering of IMA featured the Rev. Tracie Bartholomew who engaged all participants in a reflection on the changing needs of the ELCA and Interim Ministry. Bishop Bartholomew shared four observations


1) Our congregations are becoming healthier and larger as well as smaller and more fragile.

2) Focusing on Spiritual Processes is essential.

3) Establishing culture of innovation and experimentation is needed.

4) Honest Assessment is also important in making the differnce between growing stronger or more fragile.
