We are excited that the 2020 Bishop’s Training Event is moving online!

This means that Tasmanian Anglicans from anywhere in Tasmania can join the event – from your loungeroom, or sitting on your deck, or in a church hall, it’s up to you!

You can do it by yourself or gather with some friends (COVID-safely).

Information

Who?

The Bishop’s Training Event is designed to inspire and equip members of Anglican churches in Tasmania to grow as disciples of Jesus and to learn useful skills for making other disciples.

This year our theme is fruitful godly leaders. It will be especially helpful for the hundreds of lay leaders and clergy in our church and it’s very suitable for anyone who wants to live out a fruitful life and faith. There will also be a workshop for Grades 7-12 students.

What?

We are creating an engaging interactive online event for you to participate in.

It will run for 3 hours, with short breaks. There will be stimulating talks, videos, interviews, and opportunity to participate with chat, questions, and more.

The main session will be in a webinar format. There will also be one session of workshops where you can interact more, if you choose to, with a fantastic range of presenters from around Australia to select from.
