Waddel Vocational Retreat
The Waddel Vocational Retreat is a weekend at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA, during which students consider how the call of God and their personal faith impacts their life and career, whatever direction it may take. Thanks to a generous donation from Mary Elizabeth and Randy Sadd, this retreat is free to any and all Table students. In the course of the weekend we’ll meet with seminary students, staff and faculty, who will guide us through various experiences of ‘vocational discernment’.
