FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics), in collaboration with The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, is now accepting applications for a fellowship that uses the conduct of religious leaders in Nazi Germany as a launching point for a two-week intensive study of contemporary issues facing religious leaders. Fellowships include an all-expense paid trip from New York to Berlin, Krakow, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz) where students will work with leading faculty to explore both history and the ethical issues facing their profession today. All program costs, including international and European travel, lodging, and food, are covered.

The tentative program dates for FASPE Seminary are June 16-27, 2013. Completed applications must be received by Jan. 11, 2013.

Interreligious dialogue is a central component of the FASPE Seminary program, and students from all religious faiths are encouraged to apply. FASPE will make every effort to accommodate diverse religious and dietary needs.

Growing Agile Leaders

9:00 am

Instructor: Robert Dale

Seminar: LS702, $99
Dates: January 28 - February 8
Registration Deadline: January 18

Description: Our world is shifting so radically and so constantly that leaders feel obsolete and stuck in place.  Agility, a leader’s ability to adjust quickly, provides traction for forward motion.  Thankfully, there are several types of agility which enable leaders to (1) ad-lib when the environment is completely novel, (2) multiply the power of partnerships, and (3) live in two worlds at the same time—the old world that’s fading away as well as the new world that’s emerging. This two-week seminar will explore those with Robert Dale author of Growing Agile Leaders: Coaching Leaders to Move with Sure-Footedness in a Seismic World (Coach Approach Ministries, 2011) and will include an interactive conference call for all participants.
