Sponsored by the Committee on Diaconal Ministries
June 7-9, 2012

Wheaton, IL

The 2012 National Diaconal Summit included three workshops that gave the attendees an opportunity to receive instruction on a variety of diaconal situations that they might face in their local churches, and work through several samples together.

The professionally produced case presentations are detailed, timeless, and useful for training.
