Leading for the Future, Southwark Conference Report
October 8th, 2008
The first regional conference by the Foundation for Church Leadership Leading for the Future was held at Southwark Cathedral Conference Centre on September 3rd 2008
After a welcome from Dame Janet Trotter, Chair of FCL and a brief description of the work of FCL, Lynwen Plowman introduced the Southwark programme and described the work of her review. Many questions were then asked about Lynwen’s work.
This first presentation was followed by the Bishop of Southwark who described how he and the Senior Staff have been influenced by the programme. The morning session was concluded by Jane Steen who gave a lively talk about how the Diocese is using and developing the work.
After lunch, there was a presentation of the recently published FCL Leadership review Revealing Leadership. This FCL Publication provides an overview of clergy leadership programmes across the Church of England.
The delegates then gathered into discussion groups to consider the questions and thoughts raised from the day.
The day closed with the Bishop of Tonbridge, Rt Rev Brian Castle’s reflections of the day.
