"Extraordinary Leadership Seminar" began the next year and, from the beginning, was open to clergy of all denominations and faiths. To see what past participants have to say, click here.
The responses from the clergy have been overwhelming. They credit the seminar for "making it possible to stay in ministry," "giving them relationship skills they did not have" and showing how to manage themselves when the congregation becomes intense, angry, or blaming. Many claim a richer, more fulfilling family life that, of course, has a great effect on their ministry.
Increasingly, in recent years, non-clergy leaders are participating in Extraordinary Leadership Seminars. They report with excitement the same benefits as the clergy: the ability to manage themselves in their growing organizations' emotional challenges as well as guidelines for leading themselves and their organizations to better overall functioning.
This year, there will be seminars in Winchester, Richmond, and Falls Church, VA.
In addition to the seminars, the Center produces teaching materials such as textbooks, popular books, and papers on various aspects of Bowen family systems theory. Its faculty members are available and active in speaking at various events from churches and other institutions.
