The 2025 ARL Annual Meeting is a hybrid event with both in-person and online options. See below for registration details. The theme of our 2025 annual meeting will be “Leadership as Justice.” 

Exploring leadership as justice invites a reconsideration of the what, who, why, when, where, and how of justice for leaders and religious communities alike. What does justice look, sound, smell, taste, and feel like for leaders and communities? What new forms and structures might/does just leadership take within communities? Who determines what justice is or should be, and for whom? Why is—or is not—justice a core concern for some leaders and not others, and thus some communities and not others? 

The ARL Annual Meeting invites scholars and practitioners into thoughtful conversation about the (r)evolutionary vocation of leadership. Our methods: discussing provocative, original papers/presentations, networking, and imagining an emerging future in the theological education, formation, and ongoing development of religious leaders in a fast-paced, challenging world.

It will be held in Denver, CO, April 24-26, 2025. The conference begins Thursday evening and ends Saturday at Noon. Schedule forthcoming.
