Many bishops and rostered ministers have reported an increase in anger in our faith communities. Certainly, the Covid issues over the past two years have made ministry more complicated. New ministry plans delayed, organizing virtual worship and meetings, complications with pastoral care, financial support declining. These problems create anxiety and anger. The anger in our churches is also a part of the anger and unrest present in our country.

Barbara Keller, with ELCA’s Misconduct Prevention, presents a 1-hour zoom workshop for rostered ministers. It focuses on understanding the origin of anger and ways to help rostered ministers and congregations deal more effectively with anger. Tuesday, 11/30/2021, 9 am MST, 8 am PST. Register here.
