| ![]() LTI class of March 2002 |
The aim of ARM leadership training is to train as many Christian leaders as possible so that clergy and lay leaders become teams in parishes to prayerfully lead parishes into renewal, and grow in the gilfts of the Holy Spirit. These leaders should also be available to assist other parishes to move into renewal.
The priests that lead LTIs include ARM Leadership Training Institute Director Rt. Rev. Malcolm Harding, and Revs. Paul Crossland, Murray Henderson, Robin Guinness, Nick Brotherwood, Arthur Sheffield, Larry Mitchell, Gene Packwood, Paul Charbonneau. Bishops Malcolm Harding, Eddie Marsh and Len Whitten are leaders. Emma Marsh and June Whitten are also leaders and this team is slowly expanding.
ARM will also provide leadership for shorter lay LTIs in a local setting, probably several parishes working together, to reduce costs and open the experience to more leaders. It would probably not be residential. The program would be recommended by the Director of Leadership Training based on the number of group sessions in the selected time frame. The time frame might also be four days, but is likely to be shorter: a long weekend or even a two day weekend. It can also be several shorter weekends. ARM would send in an experienced leader to work with clergy (particularly) and perhaps laity who have been at an LTI to jointly present the program and lead the weekend. ARM requires that the local community pay the expenses of the ARM leader and would appreciate a donation to ARM as well. Obviously, the fuller residential LTI is better, and these will be run about once a year, in the East and in the West, similarly to clergy LTIs. See photos from the March 2004 laity LTIs in Montreal.

-----------------------------------------------
Leadership Training Institutes (LTIs) are led by Anglican clergy involved in leading their parishes into spiritual renewal. Leaders include: Dean Brady (Montreal), Robin Guinness (Toronto), Larry Mitchell (Saskatoon), Murray Henderson (Toronto), Arthur Sheffield (Calgary) and Paul Charbonneau (Oakville).
Our first lay LTI was held in the spring of 1996 in Montreal. Designed especially for lay leaders, it was a great event! If you are interested in attending, your rector should normally have attended a clergy LTI. You must have your rector's recommendation to attend. Parishes that would like to encourage participation in LTIs might consider paying some or all of the costs for their lay people to attend.
Well over 100 Canadian clergy have gone through the 5 day clergy LTI. A comment from a recent participant was: "I found the LTI very practical and supportive of clergy. The integration of current research, biblical theology and excellent facilitation resulted in a course of benefit to all."
