Tim Dyer – The Johnmark Extension
Teaching and training events
I enjoy my opportunities to teach in the Arrow Leadership program. Always good to hang out with a choice collection of Bulls, Turtles, Koalas, classic Owls and this year a lone Turtle.
I have added some material from today’s discussions to what was linked via this post this morning. All the best as you prepare for action.

Three days of warm and dry weather were great for our Consultancy training residential at Bellambi. It was great to have most of the team present and to acknowledge a handover to a new coordinator and leadership process.
We looked at both basic and advanced training and were taken through a review report on the teams activities and processes.
All the notes should now be synced to our team dropbox account.
It has been a privilege to spend the last few days with a new group of pastors and leaders being trained as church consultants for the Baptist Union of Victoria. In our first residential we focussed on outlining the standard consultancy process, providing skills in setting consultancy objectives with local churches and working through several processes for gathering information from church members. We also covered several basic principles of consultancy work within a Christian context and looked at the specific dynamics of churches.
It has been enjoyable to share the day with the Priests in Charge training program for the Diocese of Melbourne at St Michaels North Carlton. We looked at a range of issues related to self-care under the title of healthy clergy – healthy parishes.
