2021 Annual Meeting
Religious Leadership for the Common Good
Join the Academy of Religious Leadership as we explore the timely topic of Religious Leadership for the Common Good.
Events begin Thursday Evening, April 22 with the Welcome and Presidential Address at 7:00 pm EST followed by virtual happy hour of conversation in various breakout rooms – an opportunity to meet new colleagues, catch up with old friends, and share the highs and lows, hopes and struggles that have shaped your work and thinking about leadership over the past year.
The Academy
The Academy of Religious Leadership (ARL) exists to enhance religious leadership education; convene a scholarly roundtable of leadership educators and professional practitioners for the purpose of faculty development and community; and foster and disseminate leadership education and research.
The Meeting
The ARL Annual Meeting invites scholars and practitioners into thoughtful conversation about the (r)evolutionary vocation of leadership. Our methods: discussing provocative, original papers/presentations, networking, and imagining an emerging future in the theological education, formation, and ongoing development of religious leaders in a fast-paced, challenging world.
The Journal
The Journal of Religious Leadership is published semi-annually by the Academy of Religious Leadership (ARL). As a peer-reviewed journal, the editorial team assesses articles by four criteria: scholarship (in an effort to promote faithful critical thinking about religious leadership), theological (as ARL is focused on religious leadership, matters of faith and practice are instrumental), expansive (the work of ARL seeks to extend and deepen both religion and leadership), and suggestive (work suggests outcomes, practices, behaviors, implications, etc. for readers to incorporate in their contexts).
