Welcome Clergy

This Page, from Clergy Coaching Network, is offered for Clergy of all religious traditions.

Our Mission:

1. To CHALLENGE, EQUIP AND INSPIRE clergy for resilience and transformational leadership in an ever-changing world.  On this page we will be sharing relevant articles, book reviews, research, quotes, sermon ideas and illustrations, sharable memes, and occasionally a bit of humor about clergy, human nature, theology, or congregational life.

2. To ARTICULATE A VISION FOR FAITHFUL CONGREGATIONS. This may include but is not limited to Worship, Community, Hospitality, Discipleship, Inclusiveness, Evangelism, Social/Biblical Justice, Congregational Care, Service, and Leadership Development.

3. To INVITE CLERGY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR COACHING SERVICES. We hope that clergy and congregational staff teams will seek to employ one of our well-trained clergy coaches to assist them in their leadership and ministry.  

Our coaching services are available to leaders of all religious traditions.  Learn more at http://www.clergycoachingnetwork.com

At present our coaching services are limited to clergy in North America.  

Posts on this page come from a variety of perspectives and seek to address the issues, challenges, and opportunities facing clergy, congregations, and the communities in which they minister.  While we do not coach thorough our Facebook posts, our posts are selected to address the concerns identified by our coaching clients and the congregations that they serve.

If you are uncomfortable with posts coming from a variety of points of view or religious perspectives(conservative, moderate, and progressive, sacred, and secular), this may not be the page for you.

COMMENT GUIDELINES: 

If you choose to comment on a post, we ask you to familiarize yourself with our mission and follow these Comment Guidelines. (By “liking” or “following” this page, you are agreeing to abide by these guidelines.)

• This page is intended for Clergy Only. Non-clergy are welcome to view, like and share our posts, but please refrain from commenting. Comments from those who are not clergy may be hidden or deleted.
• As people of faith, we are called to a higher standard than the vitriol that often shows up in some Facebook comments.
• Always read a complete article before making a comment. Commenting on a headline, a tag-line or picture, without reading the article, perpetuates the shallow thinking that dominates much of social media. When it is obvious that the commenter has not read the entire article, the comment will be deleted.
• Please, no personal attacks. Comment on ideas, not people. We delete comments that are deemed to be trolling, abusive, profanity, conspiracy theories, pejorative, demeaning, combative, off-topic, racist, sexist, hate speech, labeling, “denomination bashing,” or harassing. 
• Please stay on topic. Keep the conversation thread focused on the article, the meme or the subject presented. Comments that seek to “hijack” the conversation or present a topic not referred to in the post or meme will be hidden or deleted. 
• Don’t post links without comment. Engage in conversation.  We delete links that do not include personal comments. And please don’t cut and paste comments you have used elsewhere. This feed is not your pulpit.
• Advertisements or solicitations, posted as comments, will always be deleted and the person or organization posting ads will lose the privilege of commenting on this page.  

Remember! When you “like or follow” the Clergy Leadership and Resilience Facebook page, you are agreeing to these guidelines. 

We reserve the right to prohibit persons or groups from commenting on this page when these guidelines are ignored!
