While clergy are often tasked with replenishing the minds and spirits of their parishioners, they themselves are often left without nourishment. In the midst of a global pandemic, economic uncertainty, and social unrest, many clergy find themselves lacking the emotional and spiritual support they need.
This community conversation aims to facilitate the arduous and vulnerable process of leaning into, understanding, and moving through the drought(s) of need, heaviness, and hunger that pastors are experiencing in this season.
Facilitating our conversation are Rev. Dr. Fatimah Salleh and Elizabeth Howze. This event is co-sponsored by Campbell University.
Rev. Dr. Fatimah S. Salleh was born in Brooklyn, NY to a Puerto-Rican and Malaysian mother and an African American father. She is the eldest of seven.

She is currently the founder of A Certain Work, an organization dedicated to educating on issues of faith, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Elizabeth “Liz” Howze, M.Div., MSW: Liz describes herself as an Emergent Strategist, Hope Dealer, Minister, and Professional Agitator.
