Fall Covenant Project Workshops

This project assists religious institutes facing an uncertain and changing future. In this difficult but grace-filled time, a community can live today's challenges with the same courage, fidelity and creativity that have marked its entire history. We assist communities in developing a timeline, in identifying the covenant(s) and/or partnership(s) that will be helpful along the way and in putting the necessary documents.

• OnGround: St. Louis, MO Sept 21, 2013

• Webcast: Tuesdays in September 2013

Covenant Project Update

The Covenant Project assists religious institutes as they take responsibility for their own future in uncertain and changing times. We think of it as estate planning for religious institutes.

estate plan [ih-steyt plan] – arrangements made in anticipation of a changing future. The estate plan attempts to eliminate uncertainties over administration, maximize resources and establish a legacy. Taking responsibility for one's future is an ongoing process that begins when one has a measurable asset base. As life progresses and goals shift, the estate plan moves to be in line with new goals.
