      Add to Calendar 2025-01-21T12:00:00 2025-01-21T14:00:00 America/New_York Yale Divinity School | Soul Care: Practices for Clergy/Lay Leaders with Rae Jean Proeschold-Bell Ministering to others requires heartfelt connection and can be life-giving and rewarding beyond measure. Yet many of today’s systems, including those involving churches, make it hard for clergy and lay leaders to sustain themselves in ministry work for the long-term. Since 2007, the Duke Clergy Health Initiative has been identifying, testing, and promoting ways to prevent burnout and foster flourishing for Christian clergy. In this course, you will try out several practices that have been tested and shown to improve the health and well-being of clergy. You will also learn about a curriculum for church personnel committees that can improve communication, trust, and open-hearted reflection among lay leaders, for the betterment of the church. Participants will: - Experience brief practices shown to reduce stress symptoms and promote physical health. - Learn how to share these brief practices with others through available materials and courses. - Learn about curricula to foster communication and trust in one’s church, to provide a foundation for both smooth and challenging times.
