Cascadia District Colloquy

"Colloquy," from the Latin for "speak together," simply means "conversation" or "to confer together."

The clergy and other folks in ministerial leadership in the Cascadia District gather in sub-groups several times during the year to be in conversation together about ministry, administrative details, what's new and what never changes, and to be in supportive relationship with one another.

Colloquy meetings in 2023-2024 will begin in October 2023. See the groupings and schedule below.  Meetings may be in person or by Zoom and dates are subject to change.  Please contact the facilitator (indicated in bold and linked to email address) for information about particulars.
