"To allow onself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to the violence of our times."
Pastoral Excellence Project
Mississippi clergy have strengthened their leadership abilities by deepening their spiritual lives through the Center for Ministry's Pastoral Excellence Project (PEP) since 2002.
With continuation funding from Lilly Endowment, Inc. through its Sustaining Pastoral Excellence initiative, PEP is moving into a new phase of equipping religious leaders for excellent leadership within their ministry settings.
The following pages give information about each component of PEP. Please take a look! If you are a clergy person serving in Mississippi, we hope you will join us in discovering "a more excellent way."
