Learning Together

Micah Network convenes regional consultations and workshops on themes which will enhance its members' work. Every 3 years, Micah Network also convenes a global consultation.

Regional consultations have been held on the following themes:

  • Marginalised People: Our Christian Response (Asia, 2007)
  • Integral Mission (Asia and Africa, 2006)
  • Advocacy and Integral Mission (South Asia and Africa, 2004)

  • Integral Mission in a World of Conflict (Thailand, September 2006)
  • Globalisation and the Poor (Mexico, 2003)
  • Integral Mission and the Poor (England, 2001)

Micah Network's consultations are hosted by member agencies and the program is jointly developed by a small group of members who have knowledge and experience in the theme and under the guidance of Micah Network's global coordinating group.

Micah Network consultations generally incorporate:

- Worship and devotions each day
- Plenary addresses to identify and explain key principles
- Case-study presentations, with an emphasis upon practical application
- Small-group discussion to encourage a wider sharing of experience and ideas
- Space for informal prayer, networking and fellowship.

Participants are encouraged to evaluate each consultation in detail so that we can better serve our members' needs and develop the life of the network.
