Thanks to all who were able to join the in-person Salary & Benefits Negotiation Workshop on campus during spring RFS. One of the key resources we talked about is this Compensation Guidelines spreadsheet, which includes compensation guidelines from all ELCA synods who have them available as well as salary information for other ministry/non-profit roles. For those who weren’t able to join us in person, check out the recording from last year’s workshop. Later on this term, we hope to have an online module available with mini videos and resources that walks step-by-step through the content. Want to have a conversation about salary and benefits negotiation? Or want a second set of eyes as you look over your compensation package? Find a time to talk with Grace Pomroy, Director of the Stewardship Leaders Program.

In this second week of Lent, Kyiv’s theological schools are also observing Lent. While we continue to pray for Ukraine after three years of war, pray also for our sister seminaries, missionaries, and churches in Ukraine struggling to survive. The Saint Sophia Cathedral is the “spiritual heart of Kyiv and one of the most important sites in the Orthodox faith.” The Kyiv cathedral includes mosaics and frescoes as old as 1,000 years, including the magnificent Icon of Saint Basil the Great of Caesarea pictured here in our library’s theologian bibliographies.

In this devotion, James L. Boyce ’71 M.Div., meditates on an integral part of our faith—the journey of the heart from fear to trusting in God’s promises. Read today’s God Pause.
