SUMMARY:Bishop's Day
DESCRIPTION:Bishop Miller invites Rostered and Lay leaders of the synod to the next Bishop’s Day\, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.\, December 12\, 2024\, at the synod office\, 100 Mahoning Street\, Milton*. Pastor Scott Kershner will present the Intercultural Development Inventory and lead us through the survey process. The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) is a widely used and effective cross-culturally valid assessment for building cultural competence. It is equally valuable for learning how to better navigate the polarized cultural and political climate\, especially in our churches. The IDI is broadly about cultural and worldview difference and how we navigate that effectively.\n \nParticipants will receive a link to complete the IDI survey and be invited to hear the results at a follow-up session on February 20\, 2025. Cost for the two days is $25 per person**\, payable to the Upper Susquehanna Synod and includes lunch: Please register with Brenda Krouse (brenda@uss-elca.org) by December 6. Payment in advance is appreciated. \nIN ADDITION: Those who wish to remain for the afternoon will be invited to join in a time of conversation with the bishop. Possible topics include the state of the synod\, responding to the election\, changes to the Lay Worship Leaders program\, Go Tell It IN The Mountains (the compelling preaching initiative of the Allegheny\, Northwest PA\, and Upper Susquehanna Synods). \n*This opportunity fulfills the expectations for Rostered Leaders and Authorized Lay Leaders to complete training in anti-racism. \n**For those who previously took the IDI Survey with Pastor Kershner\, attendance at either day is free. You need not take the survey again. \nBishop’s Days take place approximately every other month and provide synod leaders opportunities to engage with the Bishop and collegiality in rest\, renewal\, and re-creation. Ideas are welcome for future Bishop’s Days and may be sent to the bishop or Chad Hershberger.
