A few summers ago, I had the privilege of traveling to Minnesota to spend two weeks learning about writing from Eugene Peterson through Collegeville Institute. The time proved challenging and enriching on many levels.
I just caught word of new Collegeville Institute-sponsored off-site writing programs held throughout this fall. If you’re a pastor, minister, thinker or writer, you won’t want to miss these opportunities to hone your craft:
Join Mary Potter on Whidbey Island in Washington for Writing Spirit, Writing Faith, a weeklong workshop designed for fiction writers, poets, and creative nonfiction writers whose work incorporates a spiritual or faith dimension.
Church leaders and pastors who are committed to the ways writing can be a spiritual practice, an expression of the pastoral imagination, and a service to the church and the world should join Dr. Patricia Tull during The Writing Pastor Workshop in Louisville, Kentucky.
Mary Nilsen will be challenging pastor-writers during Words that Sing II: Advanced Writing Workshop—a chance to practice new sentence skills and master the metaphor outside of Boston, Massachusetts.
The Collegeville Institute covers all costs of lodging and meals. Travel expenses are the responsibility of participants.
This is a tremendous opportunity!
THE ONE CATCH is that applications are due as soon as MAY 12. So ACT FAST.
