 Two Retreats:  New York & New Jersey

ECF hosted its first-ever retreats for new Fellows as a way to nurture their vocations and foster connections. All but two of the fourteen Fellows named since 2007 attended either the October 2010 retreat in New Jersey or the January retreat last week in New York City. Each participant was asked to reflect on: mapping their journeys, significant learnings in their studies and ministries, sharing their knowledge with the wider Church, and partnering with ECF and other Fellows to leverage their impact. The Rev. Tom Brackett (Episcopal Church officer for church planting and redevelopment) assisted in designing and facilitating the retreats.
