Pastors and lay leaders reported their secretariat weekends were up and running, post pandemic. Issues with low number of pilgrims and SD for some. Numbers are up for others. Consensus that coed retreats may be the way of the future. Efforts to provoke pastor participation in VdC will take the forms of a testimonial video and colorful brochure. The SD Manual needs updated. The growth of the movement may depend on being more openly ecumenical. Group plans to continue discuss via zoom in the next couple of weeks.
