Inc., Candler launched The BRIDGE in 2022 to create and foster new partnerships with local congregations in ministries with young adults who are in their twenties.</p> <p>Young adults today face challenges that did not confront previous generations, such as lifelong cycles of economic instability, increased experience and witnessing of violence, high rates of depression and loneliness, and navigating online relationships and social media. Many congregations are not equipped to minister with young adults as they face these challenges. The resulting gap can make it difficult for young adults and churches to see each other as beneficial relationship and ministry partners. The BRIDGE addresses this gap.</p> <p><a href="https://candler.emory.edu/about-candler/institutes-initiatives-affiliates/bridge-inititative/">Learn more about the BRIDGE Initiative</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="drawer-wrapper"> <div class="drawer-trigger-wrapper"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="drawer-trigger" data-img="" >Candler Center for Christian Leadership</a> </div> <div class="drawer-content"> <p>The Candler Center for Christian Leadership (CCCL) expands opportunities for United Methodist leaders to be trained in best business practices in onboarding, team building, strategic planning, financial management, and other areas.</p> <p><a href="https://candler.emory.edu/about-candler/institutes-initiatives-affiliates/candler-center-for-christian-leadership/">Learn More</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="drawer-wrapper"> <div class="drawer-trigger-wrapper"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="drawer-trigger" data-img="" >Certificate in Theological Studies Program</a> </div> <div class="drawer-content"> <p>A collaborative project of the Atlanta Theological Association (ATA) and Lee Arrendale State Prison’s Chaplaincy Department, the Certificate in Theological Studies is a yearlong program of theological education for incarcerated women, with classes designed and taught by graduate students and faculty from ATA schools, including Candler.</p> <p>The program prepares incarcerated women to serve as leaders, develops their critical thinking skills, and also provides seminary students with teaching opportunities and formative experiences for ministry and discernment.</p> <p><a href="https://candler.emory.edu/about-candler/institutes-initiatives-affiliates/the-certificate-in-theological-studies-program/">Learn More</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="drawer-wrapper"> <div class="drawer-trigger-wrapper"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="drawer-trigger" data-img="" >Laney Program in Moral Leadership</a> </div> <div class="drawer-content"> <p>The Laney Program in Moral Leadership honors the legacy of Emory President Emeritus James T.
