Retreats:
I regularly lead retreats and days of reflections in the Atlanta area and in other places around the country, particularly for Diaconate Programs. I have given retreats for Diaconate programs in Nashville, Tennessee; Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan; Columbus, Ohio; Boise, Idaho and Davenport, Iowa. Storytelling is an integral part of these retreats and days of reflections.
The retreat format generally consists of an opening prayer or hymn for each talk. This is followed by a passage from scripture, a story, short lecture and reflection. Time is allowed for the participants to reflect on what has been said. The number of talks per day is flexible.
