SPRING TRAINING 2021

SPRING TRAINING 2021

[March 24, 2021] The Diocese of Hawai'i's annual Spring Training event was held online on Saturday, March 13, 2021.  Despite the many challenges the pandemic has created, a positive result has been the use of the internet to stay connected and communicate during these times.  Going virtual has opened the event up to many that would otherwise not be able to attend for travel or work reasons, even during non-pandemic times. 

This year's event featured 15 presentations covering a wide range of topics from the basics (Introduction to the Episcopal Church led by Bishop Robert Fitzpatrick) to practical (Investments: Maintaining Your Endowment as well as Review of Diocesan Investment Portfolio with Peter Pereira, Diocesan Treasurer, and Peter Backus, Morgan Stanley Sr. VP) to sensitive subject matter of our times (Deep Listening and Open-hearted Speaking: Conversation and Theological Reflection on Race Relations in Hawaiʻi led by the Diocesan Reconciliation Task Force).  The latter was the most attended presentation that drew both clergy and lay into deep discussion. 

With Zoom constantly upgrading and improving their service, folks could choose which presentations to attend on the spot.  The Diocesan Support team is also constantly seeking ways to improve the way we communicate and gather, and the future of Diocesan events will likely continue to offer an online option that has seen great success and broader participation.

Below, we share screen shots and the recorded sessions for some of the presentations.
