All concerts are free and open to all. \n“Mr. Briggs is one of our finest organists\, and also a particularly good transcriber of orchestral works for his own instrument. “ – The New York Times \nDavid Briggs is an internationally renowned organist whose performances are acclaimed for their musicality\, virtuosity\, and ability to excite and engage audiences of all ages. Consistently ranked as one of the finest organists of his generation\, David’s extensive repertoire spans five centuries. He has also become one of the foremost organ transcribers of symphonic works\, thereby giving listeners the opportunity to experience the organ in a new way. He has transcribed orchestral compositions by Schubert\, Tchaikovsky\, Elgar\, Bruckner\, Ravel\, and Bach as well as Mahler’s Second\, Third\, Fourth\, Fifth\, Sixth\, and Eighth symphonies. \nDescribed as ‘an intrepid improviser” by Michael Barone\, host of American Public Media’s Pipedreams\, David also frequently per-forms improvisations to silent films such as Phantom of the Opera\, Hunchback of Notre-Dame\, Nosferatu\, Jeanne d’Arc\, Metropolis\, King of Kings\, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde\, the General\, and a variety of Charlie Chaplin films. \nAt the age of 17\, David obtained his FRCO (Fellow of the Royal College of Organists) diploma\, winning the Silver Medal of the Worshipful Company of Musicians. From 1981-84 he was Organ Scholar at King’s College\, Cambridge University\, during which time he studied with Jean Langlais in Paris. The first British winner of the Tournemire Prize at the St Albans International Improvisation Competition\, he also won the first prize in the International Improvisation Competition at Paisley. Subsequently David held positions at Here-ford\, Truro and Gloucester Cathedrals. \nDeeply committed to ensuring organ music remains relevant and vibrant\, David enjoys giving pre-concert lectures and demonstrations that help make organ music more broadly accessible. He teaches performance at Cambridge University\, frequently serves on international organ competition juries\, and gives master classes at colleges and conservatories across the U.S. and Europe. \nDavid performs more than 50 concerts a year at such venues as Maison Symphonique\, Montreal; Royal Albert Hall\, London; Notre -Dame\, St Sulpice and St Eustache\, Paris; Kimmel Center\, Philadelphia; Berlin Philharmonie\, Germany; St James Cathedral\, Toronto; International Performing Arts Center\, Moscow; Valencia Cathedral\, Spain; National Auditorium\, Madrid; Christ Church Cathedral\, Victoria (BC); Nidaros Cathedral\, Trondheim\, Norway; Grace Cathedral\, San Francisco (CA); and King’s College\, Cambridge. \nDavid Briggs is also a prolific composer and his works range from full scale oratorios to works for solo instruments.

SUMMARY:Presenting CE Topic: Maintaining an Ethical Posture in a Politically Charged Climate
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, political identity has become increasingly intertwined with personal identity\, relationships\, and emotional wellbeing. As a result\, politically charged topics frequently emerge in counseling settings—whether related to elections\, public policy\, media narratives\, public health responses\, or social justice concerns. Clients may present with distress tied to political events\, conflict with family members who hold opposing views\, or feelings of fear\, anger\, or disillusionment related to sociopolitical development.\nThis workshop examines how counselors can maintain an ethical and therapeutic posture when politically charged issues arise in clinical practice. Participants will explore how political beliefs—both their own and those of their clients—may influence clinical judgment\, the therapeutic alliance\, and treatment planning. Drawing on professional ethical standards\, multicultural counseling principles\, and clinician self-awareness\, the session will consider how counselors can avoid value imposition while still engaging client concerns in meaningful and therapeutically productive ways. \nParticipants will be introduced to a structured framework for navigating politically charged discussions in counseling sessions while maintaining fidelity to ethical practice\, respect for client autonomy\, and the preservation of the therapeutic relationship. Case examples and guided reflection will assist clinicians in developing practical strategies for responding to political diversity in counseling contexts. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify ways political beliefs and sociopolitical identities may influence client functioning\, counselor perceptions\, and the therapeutic relationship.\nDescribe relevant ethical principles and professional standards that guide counselor responses when politically charged issues arise in clinical practice.\nRecognize potential ethical risks\, including value imposition\, countertransference\, and boundary concerns\, when political differences emerge between counselors and clients.\nExplain ethical decision-making strategies that support therapeutic neutrality while honoring client autonomy.\nApply a structured clinical framework for engaging politically charged topics in counseling while maintaining ethical integrity and the therapeutic alliance.\n\nFeaturing Returning Presenter: \nAndrew J. Graham\, PhD\, LMHC\, LMFT is Associate Professor of Counselor Education at Asbury Theological Seminary and a licensed clinician in both mental health counseling and marriage and family therapy. He has more than two decades of clinical and teaching experience at the intersection of counseling\, theology\, and cultural formation. Dr. Graham’s scholarship and training focus on faith integration\, ethical practice\, and counselor development. He regularly presents at national and international conferences on topics related to spirituality in clinical practice\, crises of faith\, and ethical care within faith-based contexts. \nView or Download flyer \n$85.00\nIncludes 3 CE Hours Certificate of Attendance \nRegistration Link
