Presbyterian Church of Queensland – Church Health Facilitation Team Training

It was great to return to Lake Moogerah south-west of Brisbane to continue training the new Church Health Facilitation Team for the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. This was their second live-in, workshop 4 of 7 in the training program. Tim taught on church systems and power dynamics, and we spent some time developing facilitation skills and reflecting on a past consultancy to consider choosing processes and forming recommendations.

The notes and resources can be found in the SharePoint folder.

Parish Support Teams Training – Diocese of Melbourne

5 years ago, the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne began training and mobilising Parish Support Teams composed of lay and clergy who are able to work with parishes in conflict.  It was great to be back working with the teams for a training update day in the Diocesan offices right at St Paul’s Cathedral.

We reflected on the early part of Ephesians 4 and worked through advanced conflict mapping skills and revised the categories of conflict. Debriefing current assignments the team is engaged in is always an important part of the day.  Luke and I introduced the facilitation of structured listening groups.
