The Power of Ministry, Diocese of North Carolina Clergy Study Day, led by Duke Chapel Dean Sam Wells at The Anglican Episcopal House of Studies at Duke Divinity School was held on March 12, 2009. Dean Wells reflected on how we might discover (or rediscover) the true power of ministry, addressing our confusion about power in ministry and directing our attentions to where true power lies. The lectures are now available for you via their website.
You will find multiple formats of the material in written text, streaming audio or downloadable tracks. The information is free and available for public use.
