This workshop is a canon law training course for the ACNA, offered in partnership with Trinity. Clergy, lay leaders, safeguarding officers, and seminarians will learn to recognize and respond to abuse, navigate safeguarding processes, and build cultures of safety and healing, rooted in Scripture, Anglican tradition, and our canonical structures. Students at Trintiy can take this course for credit.
