Notice from Kairos Prison Ministry International

While we all had anticipated hopes of getting the new manual out for Team Formation meetings and Weekends in the Fall 2010 season, it has been decided that this will not be possible because of the timeline for printing and the necessity of getting approval of the manual from the I. C. at the Summer Conference in San Antonio at the end of July. There are designated pilot programs testing the new manual with detailed evaluation instruments; and when those evaluations come in at the end of May, they will be studied in depth so that final edits can be made in order to send a proposed final edition to the I. C. members within the required 30 days prior to the Summer Conference. Even if all of that process goes very perfectly, there still will not be enough time to get printed copies of the new manual to all 300+ teams for the Fall Weekends considering their Team Formation needs of 34-36 hours prior to the actual Weekends. Therefore, all Fall Weekends should continue to operate under the current Blue Manual with all Weekends after Jan. 1, 2011 being required to use the new manual.

Thanks, my friends,
