The videos and handouts are on the Church of the Brethren website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/dlf\/learning-to-wash-feet\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.brethren.org\/dlf\/learning-to-wash-feet\">www.brethren.org\/dlf\/learning-to-wash-feet<\/a>.

The content was initially presented in a board and staff learning session and then recorded for use around the church. The Strategic Plan has called for a flexible framework for discipleship. \u201cLearning to Wash Feet\u201d is designed to develop a common vocabulary around discipleship, especially understanding the role of practices in shaping followers of Jesus into his likeness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div
