ReNew 2022 is a time for rejuvenation and discernment
A topical and relevant theme for the annual ReNew pastoral conference is nothing new. Every year, the conference, which launched in 2016, has wrestled with contemporary issues that peel away the complex layers of culture as they relate to the Church.
