Instill hope and inspire reconciliation at the 2018 Bishop’s Clergy Convocation with GNJ clergy as we go deeper to engage in peacemaking in times of uncertainty. Applying concepts from the Arbinger Institute and their work Anatomy of Peace, GNJ clergy will explore leading through change in a diverse mission field.

The event will be held Nov. 12-14 at the Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch, NJ. Come for renewal, learning, and fellowship. Cost includes registration fee, two night stay, and meals.
