The name of this project is derived from Proverbs 27:17. Dr. Anne Stewart, project leader, and her team seek ways to strengthen pastoral leaders and congregations, building on the value of cohort learning groups and the Seminary’s residential model of education. Peer learning groups of women clergy are organized and equipped with the capacities, agency, and savvy to negotiate challenging leadership contexts with a confidence that is born of competence.
