3039 Lay Leadership Certificate Program
Mountain Retreat & Learning Centers – Dr. Helen
Bishop and Patti Lawrence
The Mountain
Retreat & Learning Centers
and the Starr King
School for Ministry
are developing a new Certificate
Program for Unitarian Universalist Lay Leaders .
This new program is intended to move beyond the personal transformation
and revitalization which are hallmarks of the existing, highly successful
leadership schools, and to prepare its graduates with team-based
skills for congregational leadership.
Dr. Helen Bishop is the Director of the
Learning Center for Leadership
of the Mountain Retreat & Learning Centers, which develops leadership
training, including online
courses .
Patti Lawrence is Dean of Students and Congregational Outreach at
Starr King School for Ministry, which is also experienced in offering
online
classes .
The Certificate Program for Unitarian Universalist Lay Leaders
will have six one-week modules. The first block – “Who
am I as a person of faith?” – and the fifth block –
“How can I acquire, practice and strengthen leadership skills?”
– will be given in residence on two separate weekends, and
are intended to be available at both The Mountain and Starr King.
Blocks two through four and the sixth block of the course will
be completed online. The developers are working to ensure that these
modules will not require any special computer hardware or programs
to complete, and can, in fact, be done on the systems available
in most public libraries.
