PEARL: Providing Education And Resources for LeadershipJRF is proud to present PEARL: Providing Education and Resources for Leadership. These real-time distance-learning sessions will be facilitated by a senior member of the JRF staff and will include best practices from selected congregations from across the movement. We are pleased to provide this service free-of-charge to all JRF affiliates. It is our belief that by providing congregational leaders with the resources and experiences needed for growth, each of our communities – and the Reconstructionist movement as a whole – will benefit. Sessions will take place via tele-conference; registered participants will receive call-in information and program materials in advance of the call. View and download resources from previous PEARL sessions.
