Formation Program:

A Vision for Liberation 

A program for strategic or senior management leaders within EREA, such as members of school executive leadership teams.

This three-day residential experience provides participants with the opportunity to consider the challenges facing our communities and the world, and to discern ways our identity and purpose guide our leadership, both locally and globally.

A Vision for Liberation calls us to take seriously the words of the prophet Isaiah who reminds us of God’s vision of compassion, justice and peace that is at the heart of the Gospel.

A primary objective of the programs is to explore ways that strategic leaders can be prophetic voices, through the articulation of a vision of Gospel hope and a plan for action, amidst the ecological, social-economic and spiritual crises facing the world today.

Key Objectives

  • encounters with new ideas and approaches in leading a vision for liberation;
