Servant Leadership School of Greensboro Fall Schedule
by Jeff
The Servant Leadership School of Greensboro has been around for over 15 years. This effort is ecumenical and has been one of many influences on my own Christian faith and understanding of the ministry of Jesus Christ. As the coordinator of the School in the mid 90’s, I was given the opportunity to spend time with Gordon Cosby, Diana Chambers, Killian Noe among others through Church of the Savior and the Servant Leadership School in Washington DC.
The effort focuses on concepts like servant leadership, contemplative prayer, call, the influence of power and priviledge, importance of exposure and being in a relationship with the poor, and understanding the nature of addictions as we deepen our relationship with God in community. As Christians, how do we accept God’s love, listen for guidance, and go to the places we’d rather not go sometimes in His service? This profund effort can be personally troubling and painful if done authentically. May not be for the weak knee’d, haha, but you can make some good friends.
The works of Henry Nouwen, Ched Myers, Richard Rhor, Killian Noe, Kayla McClurg, and Walter Wink a just a few that stretch the heart, mind, and challenge the soul as we struggle to realize 21st century christian leadership.
Here is the Fall 2008 course schedule.
