Hone your ability to lead members of the
Body of Christ in a struggling world. This fall, St. Vladimir’s
Seminary is once again partnering with the Orthodox Christian Leadership
Initiative (OCLI) to co-host the 4th Annual National Advanced Leadership Conference.
The event is designed for lay and
ordained and emerging leaders who serve their local parish, diocese, or
related non-profits. It will be held Friday, September 18 through
Saturday, September 19, 2020.
The theme of this year’s Leadership
Conference is “United as the Body of Christ to Serve Those Divided by
Pandemics, Politics, and Persecutions.” The conference will feature
notable Orthodox executives, educators, philanthropists, and clergy,
including members of St. Vladimir’s faculty, and hierarchs Metropolitans
Tikhon (Orthodox Church in America), Joseph (Antiochian Orthodox
Christian Archdiocese of North America), and Nicolae (Romanian Orthodox
Metropolia of the Americas); and Archbishop Elpidophoros (Greek Orthodox
Archdiocese of America). This year, OCLI will also showcase the
newly-developed Intensive Program in Servant Leadership.
