Conversations at the Well

In a profound and daring conversation at an ancient well, Jesus and a Samaritan woman both crossed significant borders. The need to “cross borders” is often used to describe metaphorically the challenges vowed religious face today. The Religious Formation Conference is pleased to offer a series of workshops in which participants will explore, through input, contemplative time, and reflective conversation, the transformative power of border crossings in their personal and congregational lives, in their mission to our world and beyond.

Orientation to Formation, Willimantic, CT, December 2014

Orientation to Formation

Orientation to Formation is a weekend experience that offers an ideal introduction to formation ministry. Offered annually, each time it addresses formation through a different lens; thus it also serves the needs of experienced formators. The next Orientation to Formation will meet in Chicago, at CTU, December 9-11, 2016. Click here to register.

RFC 2015 Annual Report

As we prepare this Annual Report, Washington, DC is near the end of its magnificent season of spring. It had an early start this year, spurred on by late winter warmth. Once the buds began to open, there was no stopping them! Magnolias led the way, with forsythia, cherries, dogwood, and azaleas following along in overlapping succession. Each morning’s commute revealed new colors and beauty.
