Designated
Lay Ministry Program: Update |
 |
DLM
Program Changes
Calling Lakes Centre is pleased to accept the sole
responsibility for coordinating and managing the Designated Lay
Ministry Diploma Program of The United Church of Canada. We have
been working in partnership with Five Oaks Centre and the
General Council Office to develop this fine program but all
parties have agreed that, given the numbers of students
anticipated to be in the Program in the foreseeable future,
it would be wise to place the Program in one Centre.
Consolidation will mean that the Learning Circles will be
larger with an expanded consequent richness of differing
understandings, questions and wisdom coming from a variety
of students. We will be considering the possibilities for a
student travel pool in the future. |

The position of DLM
Coordinator at Calling Lakes will be expanded because of this
consolidation. Thanks go to our current Coordinators, Catherine
Barnsley for Calling Lakes Centre and Caryn Douglas for Five
Oaks Centre, for the immense amount of quality work and love of
learning that they have put into the development of the Program
– both the curriculum and the underlying policies that form the
foundation for it. Both Catherine and Caryn, for personal
reasons, do not intend to apply for the new position, but both
have expressed their ongoing support for the DLM Program.
Catherine writes, "For the last 17 months, I have been
grateful for the opportunity to work with creative colleagues at
Calling Lakes Centre, Five Oaks Centre, and the General Council
Office to lay the groundwork for the DLM program. My time with
the DLM Program ends in June as I leave to pursue personal
projects in my own life. The DLM program has rich potential as
an educational program for United Church ministry, and I look
forward to staying connected to the program in some manner."

Second Learning Circle
Storytelling weaves its way through
the second Learning Circle June 15-24 as DLM students
explore leadership through the theme of "The Community’s
Story". They will interview DLMs about their life stories
searching for theological themes and stories of vocation and
call. First Nations’ storyteller Thomas King and saged
storyteller Stuart McLean will share their craft through
recordings. The United Church’s story will be considered through
Scott Douglas’ play "Maybe One?". Students will practice the art
of storytelling in preaching and explore the role of sacrament
in the unfolding story of salvation. |
