Ministry & Mission Conference Exciting news! The Rev. Dr. Dwight Zscheile will be the keynote speaker/teacher at the annual Ministry & Mission Conference (M&M) on Saturday, May 5, 2012. The conference will be held at Trinity, Asheville. For the past few years we have had the conference at First Baptist Church in Asheville. This year’s place and date are changing, as is the format! Mark your calendars now as you don't want to miss Dr. Zscheile's teaching about living into our identity as a missionary Episcopal Church in a changing world.
Zscheile was ordained in The Episcopal Church in 2005 and has served on mission and leadership task forces in the Dioceses of Minnesota and Virginia. Zscheile received a Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction from Stanford University, Calif., in 1995, having also attended Oxford University, and a Master of Divinity degree from Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Conn., in 1998. He completed the Doctor of Philosophy degree at Luther Seminary with a focus on congregational mission and leadership in 2008. Dwight Zscheile joined the Luther Seminary faculty in 2008 as assistant professor of Congregational Mission and Leadership, after serving as an adjunct instructor in church leadership at Luther Seminary in 2007 and 2008.
Dr. Zscheile was highly recommended by several
priests in the diocese who have heard him and read his 2011 book, The
Missional Church in Perspective: Mapping Trends and Shaping the
Conversation. We are excited about his message to us. |
