About our speakers
The reverend Elizabeth Riley is an episcopal priestess, Tiktok digital evangelist and ECF 2023 fellow who shares the good news online and explores new ways in which churches and dioceses can perform the ministry on social networks. His recent book, “Rage Prayers”, challenges Christian practice focused only on positivity. Instead, explore a life of prayer that covers gratitude and pain, joy and anger, and everything else.
The Reverenda Callie Swanlund is an episcopal priestess, retreat leader, spiritual companion, fellow of the ECF 2019 and coach that helps others recognize their love and find their spark. His new book, “From Weary to Wholehearted,” is a restorative resource to overcome exhaustion in the ministry. “From Weary to Wholehearted” is not a quick solution, but a very necessary partner to remind religious leaders who are not alone, support them with sustainable tools to find joy and rest, and restore them in spiritual food.
