These monthly gatherings introduce the rhythm and tools of a “Wisdom Way of Knowing,” an integral way of knowing that engages and harmonizes our three intelligence centers: heart, mind and movement.
This is an experiential gathering with a balance of centering, teaching, Lectio Divina, and gentle body prayer. Together, we will explore ways to weave the different components of Wisdom into our daily life and spiritual practice.
Join us for a monthly experiential gathering that introduces the rhythm and tools of Wisdom Way of Knowing — an integral path that engages heart, mind, and movement.

Compass: Preparing leaders for ministry and service
Our lifelong learning program of preparation for ministry and service combines the strengths of the former Crossroads Lay Leadership Program and the former Pennsylvania Academy of Ministry.
Compass is a recognized Regional Theological Education Program within the United Church of Christ and a recognized program of ministerial preparation for the Moravian Church. Each class integrates a Moravian ethos of humble, relational theology into an ecumenical curriculum, welcoming diverse leaders preparing for varied ministry contexts. Every class is also aligned with the UCC Marks of Faithful and Effective Ministry. Select classes are also approved for various lay ministries in presbyteries and synods.
Although this program does not offer credit towards a degree, it is offered within the context of the accredited seminaries at Moravian University.
