Overall Vision
The future is unfolding in ways we could never have dreamed. We experience a church in crisis and a world in chaos. Structures, systems that have served us well in the past are no longer capable of moving us into the future. How do we make sense of it all? How do we explore critical questions of identity and meaning at such a time? What can we offer this evolving future? ICCD's flagship program-Engaging Impasse: Circles of Contemplation and Dialogue®--has been designed to help us address these critical questions through an in-depth experience of communal contemplation and dialogue. ICCD's newest programs-Living in a Time of Impasse and Communal Contemplation: Deepening Conversation from a Contemplative Heart-have been designed to help us address these critical questions in shorter formats although they do not provide the depth of the full Engaging Impasse Circle experience
