    A Conversation on Campus Ministry with Samantha Clare and The Rev. Clayton Harrington at Rooted in Jesus

    When the pandemic started, we paused on the episodes we recorded during last year's Rooted in Jesus Conference. With Forma21 in the rearview, we thought it was time to pull these out of the folder and get them to the people. Though some contexts will have certainly changed, there is still much to learn from these conversations with incredible leaders across the Episcopal Church.  In this episode, our hosts have a conversation with 2 Campus Ministers about Campus Ministry, what serving their students looks like, what the identity of a campus ministry looks like, and so much more great conversation. The Rev. Clayton Harrington serves as the Campus Missioner for the Episcopal Center at the University of Georgia and as the Associate Rector for Youth and Young Adult Ministries for Emmanuel Episcopal Church located in Athens, Ga.  Samantha Clare serves as the Director of Christian Formation at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
