Pastoral Counseling Workshop - June 3-4, 2006 e.v. - Portland, Oregon

About the Workshop

It is with great pleasure that we present this workshop for the clergy of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica in the Northwest region of the U.S. Indeed, one of the most challenging issues that clergy members face is how to assist the community in navigating life's more difficult questions within the context of the tenets of the Church. To this end, the members of the OTO Psychology Guild, at the request of the Primate Sabazius, have developed a curriculum of pastoral counseling for the clergy. Two years in the making, the Primate is highly recommending this workshop for active Bishops, Priests and Priestesses as well as local body Masters.

Attendance is limited to active EGC Bishops, Auxiliary Bishops, body Masters and ordained Priests and Priestesses in good standing. Selected Novices who are close to ordination may attend at the recommendation of their supervising bishop.

Workshop Schedule

Lunch on both days provided. You are responsible for other meals.
