SUMMARY:Learning on Purpose 2024: CCS’s intensive leadership development course
DESCRIPTION:Leadership doesn’t have to mean a business suit and a firm handshake. It doesn’t require a flashy persona and all the hippest jargon. It’s not about having the power to call all the shots. \nThe Centre for Christian Studies is grounded in the diaconal tradition\, which means being the church in the world. It means standing with those who are marginalized. It means leadership that empowers others\, and it’s grounded in a theology of justice. \nAt Learning on Purpose you’ll explore models of leadership and approaches to theology\, education\, pastoral care\, and social justice that empower and create change. \nLearning on Purpose: Changing Leadership for a Changing World is the Centre for Christian Studies’ 2-week intensive leadership development module. It is a practical\, holistic\, hands-on\, learning community experience\, and those who take it come out feeling transformed (in a good way!). \nLearning on Purpose 2024 will be held in Ste. Anne-de-Bellevue (Montreal)\, QC from June 17 – 28. \nit is open to Continuing Studies students who want to be better leaders as well as CCS diaconal ministry and certificate students starting their programs.

DESCRIPTION:Annual Gathering of United Network for Justice and Peace in Palestine and Israel (UNJPPI)\nIn line with our United Church call to ‘Bold Discipleship\, Deep Spirituality\, Radical Justice’\, the theme of this year’s UNJPPI Gathering is “Responding to a Cry for Hope”. That is the Call which was issued in 2019 by Kairos Palestine and Palestinian Christians. \nThe UNJPPI Gathering will be in London\, Ontario from May 6 to 8\, with a community event at King’s College on May 5. \nWorking in the spirit of decolonization\, most of our leadership will be Palestinian as we try to decolonize our work and listen to Palestinians talk to us out of their experience. They include:\n• Yara Shufani – a Palestinian Canadian on “Unity Uprisings 2021 – A Year Later”\n• Shadia Qubti – whose home is Nazareth and who has been studying in Canada since 2020. “Peace-building beyond dipping humus”.\n• Amal Alhaddad – who lives in Victoria and has recently emigrated from Gaza.\n• Rev.

How voices of Palestinians are being silenced”. \nWe will learn together from what our resource people have to say as well as each participant\, as we share our experiences\, insights and understanding. \nWe hope to be encouraged and re-vitalized in our support of human rights for Palestinians and justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians. \nFor more information\, check the Gathering website at https://unjppi.ca or email George Bartlett at g.bartlett@sympatico.ca.

SUMMARY:Discipleship in a Burning World
DESCRIPTION:Discipleship in a Burning World\nThe New Creed of the United Church of Canada calls us “to live with respect in Creation” recognizing that creation is a gift of God. We recognize too that caring for Creation is a spiritual commitment and that environmental issues have profound ethical and moral dimensions that impact us all. \nWith this in mind\, the Manitou Intentional Learning Community is excited to present a workshop “Discipleship in a Burning World” that will invite us to reorient ourselves within creation and examine what that demands of our discipleship. \nThe event will take place on Wednesday\, April 27th\, at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom and our special guest speaker will be Rev. Dr. Jessica Hetherington\, an eco-theologian and ordered minister within the United Church of Canada serving in the Ottawa area who will share with us her passion for environmental justice and behaviour change. Following her presentation\, there will be opportunities for questions and discussion. \nTo register and receive the Zoom link\, please visit manitoulearningcommunity.com

SUMMARY:Lenten Study: Death of Jesus for Progressive Christians
DESCRIPTION:Lenten Study: Death of Jesus for Progressive Christians\nThe Manitou Intentional Learning Community invites you to participate in a three-week Lenten study\, The Death of Jesus for Progressive Christians published in 2019. Donald Schmidt’s study guides participants through the Biblical stories about the death of Jesus “invit[ing] us to ask the larger question hanging in the background. Why did Jesus die?” Schmidt suggests that “Jesus’ theme of God’s involvement in the world on behalf of the marginalized . . . was a major challenge to the religious order of the day. It had to be stopped.” The ideas explored in this text resonate with people of faith in the modern world. In the introduction\, Schmidt writes: “The point of this study is to help you . . . analyze\, celebrate\, incarnate\, and try to live out the powerful story of the events leading up to Jesus’ death and burial.”\nLeadership will be provided by Rev. Dave LeGrand\, Rev. Erin Todd\, and Rev. Dawn Vaneyk. Sessions will take place via Zoom on Monday\, March 21\, March 28 and April 4 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.\nTo register\, please go to www.manitoulearning.com and click on the registration link for this event.\nIf you have questions or would like more information\, contact Gillian at manitouintentionallearning@gmail.com

SUMMARY:VST - Save the Date - January 30\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:For years\, the Vancouver School of Theology has been organizing VST SUNDAY – a day where students\, faculty\, staff and alumni all head out into the worshipping communities and share in worship. VST folks blend into the church service as clergy wish – a faculty member may preach\, a student may offer a prayer\, and during pre-pandemic times the VST person would stand at a table with VST Swag during coffee time to chat about the school and give away pens! \nThe Pandemic has given us the opportunity to share pre-recorded options (faculty and student sermons\, student testimonials and prayers) and do live zoom! \nPlease let me know if you’re interested and we can talk about how something might work. \nRev. Julie Lees\nRecruitment\nWant to know all the latest news?
