Retreat Conversations
Gifted members of the ECC have generously donated their time and talent toward facilitating workshop “Conversations” during our retreat. These Conversations are topics that we shall explore in our individual and collective discernment and do not necessarily represent any specific constitutional or theological direction of the ECC.
Please select up to 2 of the following Conversations and an alternate 3rd choice. Participants will be able to attend their choices based on a first registered first served basis as seats are limited for each Conversation.
- Unity and Diversity in the New Testament Church
A model for the ECC and a template for ecumenism
Tony Bomkamp, Mary Ann Ekbring – Saint Matthew Church - Listening for the Spirit
An experiential conversation of structured group discernment
Kae Madden – Church of the Beloved - Transforming Our Minds
Nurturing spirituality in ecumenical catholic communities

Rev. Jim Lehman, Tim Miller – Holy Family Parish - The Sacral Importance of Art and Liturgy in Our Catholic Experience
Rev. Zilvinas Jakstas – Ramove ECC, Living Faith Hope and Freedom ECC - Transforming the Priesthood: A Heroic Quest
Dr. Allen Moore, National Advisory Council, CORPUS - The final Conversation will be a panel discussion from three distinct Catholic Experiences of Transformation. This will take up two Conversations. However, you may wish to attend the first 90 minutes which will be devoted to an introduction reflection on each facilitator’s distinct catholic experience and then move on to a different Conversation for the remaining 90 minutes, designated for small group sharing.
