2019 Teleconference Series: Power to the People
Join us from the comfort of your own home for FutureChurch's 2019 teleconference series "Power to the People: From Clericalism to Collaboration."
In the wake of the recent revelations of clergy sex abuse and coverup, many -- including Pope Francis -- have diagnosed clericalism as one underlying disease doing great harm to our Church. How do we rid ourselves once and for all of every form and manifestation of clericalism? Our teleconference series will seek the input and advice from top experts who are well-positioned to help us answer that question and to develop ways that we, the People of God, can organize and advocate for a healthier, holier Church.
