DESCRIPTION:The synods of Region 5 (the synods in Illinois\, Iowa\, Wiscons
 in\, and the Northern Great Lakes Synod) are collaborating to present annu
 al boundaries education for active rostered ministers. The purpose of this
  collaboration is\, in part\, to show a shared commitment to boundaries ed

 and justice through theological reflection\, racial identity development\,
  and spiritual practices. Her presentation\, “The Stories We Tell\,” w
 ill serve as the guiding framework for our time together and is created sp
 ecifically for this event. The day will include a live opening session wit
 h Rhonda Hill\, followed by video sessions for the remainder of our worksh
 op. \nAll rostered ministers and synod authorized ministers serving 15 ho
