Eastern Mennonite Seminary has invited West Virginia clergy and laity to attend online webinars in November and December. These webinars and workshops are offered via Zoom video conferencing software. Clergy can get continuing education credits for participating in one or more workshops (the workshops/webinars do not count as a seminary class for credit).

Participants are expected to read messages from facilitators in advance of the workshop, engage any suggested readings or other preparatory work, and attend the synchronous online sessions ready to contribute to a virtual learning environment with others striving to create a peaceful, just, and inclusive world.
