ELCA Coaching's Courageous Leadership: What happens when Autism and Faith intersect?

We talk about Autism as being a spectrum. Some folks talk about Faith as being a spectrum. What happens when Autism and Faith intersect? Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, October 18, as we hear from Rev. Anna K. Gordy, Pastor for Pláticas de Santa Sofia, a ministry of the ELCA.

Join ELCA Coaching every Wednesday at 11am MST/PDT, 12pm MDT, as we practice Courageous Leadership. Log in info is on the ELCA Coaching website.

Rev. Anna Gordy (she/they) is an artist, writer, theologian, and parent serving as a mission developer for the ELCA in San Antonio, Texas. She's a trained ELCA Segment 2 Coach for Mission Development and Congregational Vitality, and they serve as a spiritual director for communities often underserved. Anna believes each of us are created in the shadow of the Divine and that a spark of God's light resides in us all. She says we are each created to be artists and theologians, and they have devoted their life to helping folks uncover their creative place in God's world.

To answer some commonly asked questions about these gatherings:

  • How can I prepare? Courageous leaders pay attention and listen actively. We invite you to bring a spirit of curiosity and openness to these gatherings and to all aspects of your life. What are you noticing? Where is Spirit moving? How are you being invited to participate in the work God is already doing, especially outside the walls of the building where the church often gathers? 

  • What if I'm not a group person? Courageous leaders take calculated risks. We invite you to take a small step outside your comfort zone and allow yourself to be seen and witnessed. We can almost guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised by the loving, caring, and nurturing nature of community in this time together.
