Coming to the Table Workshops (CTW): Perhaps the best known of the ICL's projects are the workshops known as Coming to the Table.  Created amid the flurry of crises beginning in the early 2000s involving reported incidents of sexual abuse and misconduct by clergy and church leaders, the CTW was developed to assist "regular middle-pew members" of congregations to process what typically happens when such crises occur. [The sexual abuse crises involve every faith and denomination, although the Roman Catholic cases were covered most frequently in the press].

The CTW is not about theology or religious issues or sexual abuse.  It is about what happens to congregations, and the individuals within them, when a crisis of this magnitude occurs.  The workshop has been recognized nationally, and has been presented not only for the public at large, but also for intact congregations and other religious groups.  For more information on COR's schedule of upcoming public CTWs, see the COR Calendar.
