Divine Renovation Conference features Fr James Mallon, author of the best-selling book Divine Renovation: From A Maintenance To A Missional Parish. He is the Episcopal Vicar for Parish Renewal and Leadership Support, Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Highly acclaimed for his work with parish renewal and the New Evangelization, Fr. James Mallon shares with us the many ways for bringing our parishes to life.
Through humorous and colourful stories, Mallon challenges us to rethink our models of parish life, from membership-based communities to assemblies of disciples of Jesus who proclaim and share the good news with all peoples.
The event will explore key themes from the book and will inspire, equip, and empower you to bring transformation to your parish. This is for both clergy and key lay leaders. Come together as a team and get equipped to move your parish from maintenance to mission.
