This Assembly was a wonderful interfaith celebration of women and men who are committed to serving God's people in diverse ministries.
I was one of the Presidents who was honored in this celebration. I served in this role from 1998-2004. During that time, with my colleagues, Gerry Grudzen, Bill Manseau and Joe Ruane, we initiated Global Ministries University (GMU) which provides affordable online education degree and certificate programs geared to ministers from around the world. http://www.globalministriesuniversity.org/
I am the Dean of the Doctor of Ministry Program and the M.Div Program. Our newest degree program, the Masters in Pastoral Ministry began in 2018 in partnership with People's Catholic Seminary. https://pcseminary.org/
Global Ministries University faculty met and hosted a graduation ceremony for the graduates who attended the Assembly on Saturday, July 21st.
During my tenure as President of FCM, our Circle of Directors developed the Ethics Code which every commissioned member signs every year.
At the Assembly, Rabbi Shapiro and Sister Simone Campbell gave excellent presentations.
A Roman Catholic Woman Priest, Juanita Cordero co-presided with Joe Ruane at the closing liturgy on July 22nd. There were about a dozen from our RCWP/ARCWP Movement present and we enjoyed being with one another and visiting during the Assembly.A blessed and fun time for all. Enjoy the photos below!
