October 12–14, 2008 Re-envisioning Leadership for a Hope-filled Future
Our religious and civic communities stand in need of effective leaders with vision and character. Candler School of Theology is responding to this need by gathering scholars, activists, ministers, educators, and citizens of all ages to re-imagine leadership in our current context. It is important for people of faith and conscience to develop more broadly inclusive concepts of leadership firmly rooted in commitments to the common good and with the idea of working across disciplines and sectors to try new approaches. With fresh voices, new ideas, and expanded partnerships, we hope to inspire and empower people of all ages to build and lead our society into the twenty-first century.
