The conversation will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 3, centered on Gil Rendle\u2019s book <em>Quietly Courageous: Leading the Church in a Changing World<\/em>. Registration is now open at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/ministryoffice\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.brethren.org\/ministryoffice\">www.brethren.org\/ministryoffice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leadership in turbulent times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who respond to the call to church leadership are passionate about leading with purpose and care. Yet many pastors struggle to respond to the challenges of a changing culture, while remaining faithful to an eternal Gospel message. They recognize that leading a congregation isn\u2019t the same as leading a civic group or business, yet realize that people often interact in predictable ways. Rendle\u2019s book offers insight for church leaders who want to lead well and respond with grace and courage to the unpredictable forces that shape our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fillmore will facilitate a 10-week conversation. Sessions will be held virtually on Tuesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. (Eastern time), beginning Oct. 3. Continuing education units will be available to pastors, and the Part-Time Pastor, Full-Time Church Program will provide participants with a copy of the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/annual-conference-moderator-theme\/\">Annual Conference moderator shares theme statement for 2027<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/conferencia-anual-declaracion-tematica\/\">El moderador de la Conferencia Anual comparte la declaraci\u00f3n tem\u00e1tica para 2027.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/konferans-deklarasyon-tem-2027\/\">Moderat\u00e8 konferans any\u00e8l la pataje deklarasyon t\u00e8m pou 2027 la<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/what-faithful-witness-asks\/\">What faithful witness asks of churches today: CCT\u2019s 20th anniversary forum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/sa-temwen-fidel-yo-mande\/\">Sa temwen fid\u00e8l yo mande legliz yo jodi a: fow\u00f2m 20y\u00e8m aniv\u00e8s\u00e8 CCT a<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Flyer-for-Rendle-Book-Study-350px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Flyer-for-Rendle-Book-Study-350px.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/Flyer-for-Rendle-Book-Study-350px-132x300.jpg 132w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e0e5eb\"><em><strong>Please pray&#8230;<\/strong> For the success of this book study, for John Fillmore as leader, and for all who participate. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Church of the Brethren\u2019s Part-Time Pastor, Full-Time Church Program has announced the next online book discussion led by \u201ccircuit rider\u201d John Fillmore.
