Dean's Forum | 10:10 a.m. | New Perspectives on the Endowment
What is the vocation of the Trinity Endowment?  What role does it play in the life of our church today, and how might we envision new possibilities for it?  Wise stewardship is important, especially as we lay a foundation for a healthy financial future. Yet, new thinking on legacy assets raises several questions:  What is  our  legacy? What seeds are we  planting?  And how might we bring our cre ativity and generosity into sacred partnership with the gifts of years past?
