WHO
SHOULD ATTEND Workshop
participants have included: pastors, rabbis, other
congregational staff members, interim pastors, chaplains,
lay leaders, denominational workers, pastoral counselors,
public school counselors and early childhood educators.
Over 200 men and women from 14 denominations and 28
states and the District of Columbia have participated.
Participants have received Continuing Education Units
(C.E.U.'s) from both denominational and professional
accrediting bodies as well as graduate credit for Doctor
of Ministry and other degree programs. Experience
has shown that family systems thinking cannot be learned
from a book or a single seminar. Ed Friedman's
oft-repeated statement was: "It takes years of mentoring
by someone who has internalized family systems theory and
intentional work in your family of origin, for this way
of thinking to become your own."
