Meet the
Keynote Speakers
Rev. Cameron Trimble is the Executive Director and CEO of Convergence (formerly the Center for Progressive Renewal), an organization that supports the reshaping of congregations and leaders engaged in an age of movement from “organized religion” to “organizing religion” driven by the values of an inclusive, progressive theological vision for a more just world for all. She began her ministry as a new church developer and, to pay for her “ministry habit”, also owns a real estate company and a software company.
Rev. Trimble has served an adjunct professor teaching church planting/renewal and leadership with the Pacific School of Religion, Brite Divinity School, Auburn Seminary and Chicago Theological Seminary. She co-authored the book Liberating Hope and most recently published Piloting Church: Helping Your Congregation Take Flight in 2019 and 60 Days of Faith in 2020.
With this wide experience and exposure, Rev. Trimble is convinced that the future of the progressive mainline Church is dependent upon our ability to cultivate the highest quality of leadership in both ordained and lay leadership.
Rev. Diane Kenaston is a pastor, writer, coach, and co-founder of the the Good Friday Collaborative. She specializes in adaptive change and cultivating communities of justice and peace.
After a decade of pastoring United Methodist churches, Rev. Kenaston led a church merger. Earlier she facilitated the sale of two parsonages and helped two yoked churches discern that it was time to separate. She believes in courageously adapting to changing circumstances.
Rev. Kenaston has previously been published in the books Speaking Truth, We Pray With Her, and Holy Contradictions.
Rev. Kenaston is passionate about ecumenical work. She is the chairperson of Young Clergy Women International. She previously worked as the County Ecumenical Officer for Churches Together in Cambridgeshire in Cambridge, England.
