2010 Ministerial & Lay Leadership Institute

Merging Mind & Soul with What Matters

On April 13 & 14 alumni, friends, faculty, and students gathered for the annual Ministerial & Lay Leadership Institute. As a part of CTS' mission to educate for ordained clergy, lay leaders, and anyone who seeks to transform the world into a place of greater justice and mercy, the Institute brought together a number of skilled teachers and thinkers to lead this year's series of workshops around the theme of "Merging Mind & Soul with What Matters." To learn more about the workshops offered, download the brochure for the 2010 Institute.

In addition to the workshop series, CTS honored The Rev. Frank A. Thomas with the Distinguished Alumni Award, The Rev. Dr. Susan Thistlethwaite with the Susan Parks Anderson Award for her tireless work in cultivating women for leadership, and Jeff Dodson, M.Div. class of 2012, with the Cambell Excellence in Preaching award.
