New Falls Church Advanced Seminar
Beginning in April 2010, at the request of many seminar participants, a new advanced seminar began. It will meet 2 days, twice a year, for the benefit of those traveling from out of the immediate region. It will be scheduled on the two days preceding the Bowen Center spring and November meetings. So, this year the first 2-day seminar met April 14 and 15 since the Bowen Center spring meeting will be the 16th-19th. The second section in November will be November 2 and 3. The Bowen Center Annual Symposium follows, on the 4th, 5th and 6th. This will be announced definitely when the Bowen Center announces its date.

Inclement Weather Policy
In case Shenandoah University is closed, your small group leader will call you, informing you of the location where the seminar will meet, nearby. Be sure your small group leader has your cell phone number (and that you have his/her home and/or cell number) so that this can take place.

Virginia United Methodist Clergy can apply to be fully subsidized through the Office of Ministerial Service. Clergy may download an application for funding from the www.vaumc.org Clergy Development Application. Please note: applications must be submitted and reviewed. Funding is not guaranteed. Contact person is Rev. Beth Downs.

Scholarships are now available for District Superintendents of the United Methodist Church. Please contact the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry for more information.

"The Cornerstone Concept": In Leadership, In Life
Dr. Bowen often referred to the concept of differentiation of self as the "cornerstone concept." This new book describes the variation in nature, especially human nature, and it shows us a way to do better with what we have inherited, both genetically and in the emotional process of the generations, from our families. It is a cornerstone for thinking about and accomplishing better functioning in any individual life.

"The Role of the Leader in Organizational Triangles" by Dr. Gilbert. For more information, check out the papers page.
