Leadership and Anxiety in the Church: A Family Systems Perspective (September 26, 2018 - Richmond, VA)
Lombard Mennonite Peace Center is offering its workshop Leadership and Anxiety in the Church: A Family Systems Perspective in Richmond, VA. This seminar looks at the challenge presented by the rising levels of anxiety being experienced in churches today, as well as the role that self-differentiated leadership can play in calming such anxiety.

Since the publication of Dr. Edwin Friedman's Generation to Generation, many pastors and other church leaders have become aware of Bowen family systems theory as a way of understanding congregational dynamics. Family systems theory identifies differentiation of self and anxiety as two key variables impacting human functioning.

The seminar is comprised of a series of PowerPoint presentations originally conceived for LMPC's Advanced Clergy Clinic in Family Emotional Process:. Works of art illustrating Biblical themes from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras are integrated at various points to facilitate theological reflection on the themes being presented.
