I enjoyed working with the North Queensland Regional Chaplains for the ADF this week at HMAS Cairns Naval Base. We spent two days working through pastoral transactions around moral injury and repair, leadership practices and processes for systemic health.

Great to catch up with Salvation Army Officers in Northern Tasmania for our regular morning cluster session this week. After a diversion into time and priority management last month we were back on track this month looking at Vision, Values and Strategic Directions for churches. Vision is not an easy area to explore as there are different types of vision at work in churches and some important differences between them. We looked at the collective vision of God’s people and how to surface this, the vision of leaders and just scratched the surface of the personal vision of church members. But more on that next time. See below for a link to the notes we looked at today.

It was great to unwind from a busy week at the Australian Mentoring Network Conference at Stanwell Tops on Thursday and Friday. I enjoyed the input from Les Scarborough and from Mindy Caliguire (Willow Creek’s Spiritual Formation program).
A range of Les’ materials are also available on John Mark Ministries Mentor Exchange website.
Mindy has some of her teaching available on You Tube. She covered the second session on the leaders soul in Sydney last week.

The Chaplains of the ADF serve in a complex and challenging environment. Along with pastoral responsibilities for service personnel and their families, they provide counsel and support to the unit command on matters to with the ethics of engagement, relating to local civilian populations and on unit morale. It was a privilege to work with the Sydney Region Chaplains this week at the Richmond Air Force Base on pastoral transactions around moral injury and repair, leadership practices and processes for systemic health.

A beautiful day in Sydney (while I hear it was raining and cold in Tassie) for our second last workshop in the Church Consultancy Training Program for the Baptist Union of NSW and ACT. It was good to debrief a couple of completed consultancies and to talk through some facilitation techniques. Dropbox files are updated and I have added a couple of documents discussed in training today.
