All clergy are required by the Canons of the Episcopal Church to participate in regular continuing education events and activities.  The manner of fulfilling this requirement is left up to each clergy person, but the Diocese of Milwaukee seeks to support clergy in doing so, and expects its parishes to do so as well whenever possible.
 
Training in leadership and parish development is offered through a variety of means, including the Church Development Institute (CDI), and regular Clergy Days throughout the year.  In addition, clergy are encouraged to participate in continuing education events of their choosing beyond those offered within the Diocese. The pages below highlight other opportunities for continuing education, discuss grants for supporting these activities, and discuss policies for clergy sabbatical leave.
