RESOURCES for LOCAL GATHERINGS

Rationale

• Over the recent past, since the formal regional structure ended, some local attempts have been made by chaplains to continue convening for professional development and support. These gatherings are few, but they are diverse and offer examples of how future gatherings might occur.
