Pastoral Leadership in a Cultural Context Program
$250,000 – CM Cares: Church Mutual Insurance Company Foundation

Dr. Stephen Jenks, assistant director of Pastoral Leadership’s Cultural Context program

Abstract: This program seeks to develop early career pastors into community leaders specifically on key issues and concerns arising from the intersection of faith and culture in Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin. The program has three principle focuses: l) education and formation of the pastors in the Ignatian Spiritual tradition; 2) creating contacts and building networks among pastors, regional business and civic leaders, and academic experts; and 3) educating and informing program participants about the scope and severity of local social justice issues. The program encourages pastors to consider how the church can be a more actively engaged partner and how pastors can speak with moral authority to the issues of the day.
