ConneXions
ConneXions is the new organization for Christian Education and Formation in the Diocese of West Virginia. Created to offer occasions to meet God in the midst of Life, ConneXions will sponsor occasional overnight retreats, day-long seminars, online courses, webinars, and book discussions. Topics for the initial offerings were taken from a survey of 60 lay people around the diocese who indicated their preferred style of learning and topics of interest.
ConneXions will periodically offer courses required for ordination to the Vocational Diaconate and for Ministry Leadership Teams (including diocesan-formed priests) at the request of the Commission on Ministry.
ConneXions website will also post offerings from other organizations, such as Kanuga, Sandscrest, Trinity Wall Street, and the various Episcopal Seminaries. Suggestions for additional postings should be sent to The Ven. Faith C. Perrizo, Archdeacon for Ministry Development, at fperrizo@wvdiocese.org.
