This year's gathering creates a courageous, thoughtful space for conversation about leading faithfully in a polarized and volatile world. The session will begin with a brief panel conversation featuring leaders from parish, cathedral, and diocesan contexts, reflecting on public witness, resilience, preaching, and pastoral leadership amid real constraints.
Moderated by the Very Rev. Lydia Kelsey Bucklin, President and Dean of Episcopal Divinity School, panelists include:
- The Rev. Canon Lindsey Ardrey, Canon Missioner for Diocesan Restitution and Reparations Ministry, Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina (Raleigh, NC)
- The Rev. Canon Dana Colley Corsello, Canon Vicar, Washington National Cathedral (Washington, DC)
- The Rev. Grace Flint, Rector, St. Francis Episcopal Church (North Bellmore, NY)
Whether you are navigating political pressure, pastoral complexity, institutional leadership, or simply the weight of ministry in 2026, this gathering offers a place of listening, solidarity, reflection, and shared learning—grounded in the wisdom of those present in the room.
Lunch is included.
Join us for a holy pause, honest conversation, and sustaining connection where the Church gathers.
This session is open to all women, women-identifying, and nonbinary clergy at no cost (one need not be registered for EPN 2026).
