NEW YORK — In less than ten years, St. Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan grew from a church on the brink of closing its doors to a growing, thriving congregation and – for three days in June – leaders of the church will share how they turned the church around during the fifth annual “Reinventing Church” conference.
The conference is scheduled from Sunday, June 11 – Tuesday, June 13 at St. Bartholomew’s Church, which is located at Park Avenue at 51st Street, Manhattan. The conference fee is $250 ($200 for returning churches), which includes plenary sessions, workshops, some meals and materials. To register, call 212-378-0222 or visit www.stbarts.org.
“We think what’s interesting about us is that we have maintained our Anglican identity and extended it through a radical welcome,” said the Rev. William McD. Tully, St. Bart’s rector. “We also have refreshed, strengthened and diversified our worship; connected with the unchurched; and re-established our frayed connection with our city. We offered this conference the last four years and learned what people wanted to hear again and how we could improve and update our teaching of principles and best practices this time around.”
Tully will again offer his popular plenary talks tracing the St. Bart’s story, the principles and best practices we use and some real war stories from the front lines of leadership and change.
Some of the scheduled workshops include “Empowering Lay Leaders,” “Models of Social Ministry,” “New Avenues in Interfaith Work,” “Communications and Advertising,” “Management for Growth,” “Enterprises,” “Music and Worship” and “Information Technology.”
