Building Strength: Regenerating Places of Faith
October 19, 2016 |
Places of faith anchor and shape our communities. Yet many congregations are facing declining attendance and insufficient funding to maintain and operate their historic buildings. These important community assets are in a period of transition across the country, and the Hamilton Region is no exception. What is their future? How can they continue to contribute in a positive way to their communities? Whether it is to keep their doors open through renewed focus on missional work, collaborations to generate new revenue streams, or making strategic real estate decisions, or through meeting community needs under a new ownership structure, the future of these places depends on urgent collaboration among faith group leaders, community organizations, elected officials, the heritage and business communities, universities and more.
The National Trust for Canada and Faith & The Common Good are excited to offer this half-day workshop that will share inspiring examples from across the country and proven regeneration strategies and tools that can be applied to all types of places of faith, regardless of their ownership.
