2020 Open and Affirming 101 Webinar

For congregations that are not yet ONA, this workshop will help you design an ONA process that builds consensus and reduces the risk of conflict. Based on the principle of "graceful engagement," a well-planned ONA process can help a congregation deepen relationships and discover new passion for the Gospel. Led by Coalition Executive Director Andy Lang.

The ONA Coalition’s webinar series is designed both for Open and Affirming congregations and for churches taking their first steps towards an ONA covenant. Individual registration at $25 is for three or fewer people. Church Group registration at $75 is for four or more people. There is no limit on the number of participants in a Church Group.

If you will be bringing additional people (up to 2 with individual or unlimited with group), you can either share the log in details and updates with them by forwarding all correspondence, or you can register them to receive email updates directly, using the GUEST ticket type. Any registrations for GUEST without a connected paid ticket, or direct permission of the Open and Affirming Coalition, will be deleted. If registering a group, you only select One Group Ticket to purchase.

All webinars are on Tuesdays or Thursdays at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Mountain, 4 p.m. Pacific and 1 p.m. Hawai’ian, and run for about 90 minutes. The webinar includes time for questions and conversation. Contact Andy Lang at ed@openandaffirming.org or Kimi Floyd Reisch at ona@openandaffirming.org for more information. Remember that extensive resources on each subject are available on this website!
