FREE! For all Episcopal clergy, lay leaders, parishioners, and community partners working with Episcopal churches.
In Common is an opportunity, to be inspired, gain new skills, and share hopes for building bridges and getting to know our neighbors. EHF and community partner organizations will share resources that can help congregations understand their communities better, identify their community's needs and assets, and take action for positive transformation. Meet others across the Diocese, share stories and lessons learned, and build relationships for future work.
In Common 2023 is organized into two regional convening events hosted in Waco and Galveston. Each event will include a full-day of topic-specific workshops on Saturday. Speakers and topics will vary for each convening so you may choose to attend the event closest to you or the one offering the topics of most interest.
