About MapDash for Faith Communities
† † †
MapDash for Faith Communities allows your leadership team
to catch a glimpse of new and emerging missional opportunities in your diocese.
The Rev. Tom Brackett
Manager for Church Planting & Mission Development
The Episcopal Church
† † †
MapDash for Faith Communities is quite impressive,
helpful as an interactive map tool,
and far more focused and helpful than either Percept or MissionInsite.
The Rev. Dr. David Gortner
Director, Doctor of Ministry programs
Virginia Theological Seminary
† † †
We are very excited by the possibilities of MapDash for Faith Communities.
Since we focus on empowering our congregations for growth,
being able to assist them with an in depth look at who is living in their community
and what the needs of those people might be, has been a real gift.
I look forward to continuing to use MapDash as I consult with clergy and vestries and collaborate with my colleagues to think strategically about the challenges and opportunities facing our churches.
The Rev. Canon Kirk Berlenbach
Canon for Growth and Support
Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania
† † †
The information available in MapDash is STUNNING.
No diocese should pass up this opportunity.
Other church data mining programs are child’s play by comparison.
MapDash makes me hungry for missional work… and for more of this.
The Rev. Dr. Lucretia Mann
Clinical Psychologist and Preist Associate
St. Philip’s Church, Scotts Valley, CA
† † †
MapDash for Faith Communities layed out a fact-based framework
to identify needs and options to grow our mission in our communities,
igniting new thinking and energy in our congregation.
David Carroll, Senior Warden
St. Mary’s Church, Woodlawn, MD
† † †
When we invited Ken help us explore the demographics of our neighborhoods,
we thought we knew what he was going to tell us.
Actually, we had no idea!
The information from MapDash for Faith Communities was eye-opening
and called us to completely reconsider our efforts in reaching out to our community.
We look forward to working with Ken Howard and MapDash
again in the near future because it was so helpful.
The Rev. Anne McNabb, Rector
Trinity Church, Elkridge, MD
† † †
This app is decades ahead of the demographic study tools available
through our denominational headquarters…or anywhere else.
The Rev. Jason Poling, Vicar
St. Hilda’s Church, Catonsville, MD
About Ken Howard
† † †
No conference before or since has had such a dramatic impact on the clergy of our diocese.
The Rt. Rev. Todd Ousely
Bishop of Eastern Michigan (retired)
† † †
I can’t imagine a better consultant to move entrenched institutions into the future.
Leonard Sweet
Author, Speaker, Professor of Evangelism
† † †
Howard gives us one of the clearest and most concise commentaries
presently available about where the Church may reasonably be seen as going
in this time of paradigmatic shift.
Phyllis Tickle
Author and Lecturer
† † †
Ken has mastered not only the content,
but also the process by which we are transformed as leaders.
The Rev. Tom Brackett
Church Leader, Coach, Blogger
† † †
I am so all about Ken’s vision. It contains real hope.
Paul Zahl
seminary dean & president emeritus
† † †
Ken is the quintessential transformational community builder.
He understands where congregations get stuck,
and he really gets how to get them unstuck.
The Rt. Rev. Ed Leidel
Congregational Coach, Bishop of Eau Claire (retired)
† † †
Ken’s natural gifts enable him to be a highly effective agent of transformational change.
His mind is keen and agile and his manner is warm, genuine and amiable.
He thoroughly understands very different points of view
and can relate well to individuals who fervently hold contrasting positions.
His combined intellectual and relational abilities enable him to facilitate positive change
among individuals in situations where there has been intractable conflict.
Paul Cooney
Canon to the Ordinary and Chief Operating Officer
Episcopal Diocese of Washington
† † †
Ken has that rare gift of making very complex matters understandable quite quickly.
Amy Moffitt
Editor and Blogger
† † †
Ken’s ability to hear where the people actually are
in relation to the material presented is uncanny,
and his knowledge of both resources and people
allow him to hear the necessary next steps, and attend to them.
This enables the people present to connect to the material from where they are,
feeling affirmed in the knowledge they bring to the table.
Ana Hernandez
Composer, Arranger, Performer of Sacred Music
† † †
Ken’s unique personal history gives him a perspective
that most of us who were raised in the church
and in the Episcopal Church in particular, do not have.
It is this gift of personal history and experience
that makes him an excellent communicator and guide
on this exploration of faith and church.
The Rev. Robert Cornner
Pastor and Regional Dean
Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles
