NAAD Courses Through CALL!

Many of the Center for Ang- lican Learning and Leader- ship’s (CALL's) courses are designed in collaboration with the North American As- sociation for the Diaconate. These courses may be used for continuing education op-portunities for deacons, as well as for preparation for deacons in training. Look for NAAD markers throughout the CALL catalog. NAAD members are entitled to the team discount registration rate for any CALL course. When registering, indicate NAAD as your team.

The NAAD courses on the CALL website can be found here.
