Oreon E. Scott Clergy Conference



Annual Conference for all clergy

- active and retired -

sponsored by the Oreon E. Scott Fund


September 17-19, 2024



Oreon E. Scott Clergy Conference


Held annually every fall at Christmount, the Oreon E. Scott Clergy Conference is an opportunity for continuing education, edification, connection, and community-building.


The theme for 2024:


"The Peacemaker's Path"


Now more than ever, people are painfully divided politically, religiously, and culturally.

And yet, there is a commonality in our faith traditions that can help us turn away from polarization and create a greater sense of community in which our differences are honored.


The Peacemaker's Path brings together wisdom from the world's major religious traditions, including Bahá'í, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism,

Native American spiritualities, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism,

showing that we have much more in common than what divides us.


Registration includes a complimentary copy of Jerry's book "The Peacemaker's Path."




Keynote Speaker:

Rev. Dr. Jerry Zehr
