Why Join the ECMN-Branded Faith+Lead Site?
Did you know that there are over fifty free On Demand courses available to you and your faith community on the ECMN-Branded Faith+Lead site? The courses cover everything from scripture, spiritual practices, justice, stewardship, starting a new ministry, thinking theologically about the environment, to a course on Dietrich Bonhoeffer filmed in Berlin. All you need to do is to sign up, join the site, and click on the graduation cap icon on the left-hand side of your screen to access them. Attached is a list of some of the best courses.
The ECMN-branded Faith+Lead site also has a feed where people can share ideas, offerings, and spiritual practices as well as participate in small subgroups for things like Mustard Seed, the group of Episcopalians interested in learning how to join up with spiritually curious neighbors.
When asked why she finds the ECMN-branded Faith+Lead site helpful Lanette Leigh from St. John’s, St. Cloud replied,“the ECMN Faith+Lead site helps me with my spiritual growth. Prayers, spiritual practices, book recommendations, resources, etc. are regularly shared there. I print and keep the prayers and spiritual practices, and I read the recommended books. All of these resources are helpful in my individual spiritual journey. The site also keeps me connected to other leaders involved with Mustard Seed/fresh expressions of Faith. We meet in person three or four times per year, so the site is a good way to communicate between gatherings. Faith+Lead is a great way for us to report our successes as well as ways we need to improve our ministries, share ideas with each other, ask and answer questions of each other, share resources, stay up-to-date with Mustard Seed ministries, and encourage each other."
