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?

SUMMARY:CCS - Christianity and Environmental Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:I would like to personally invite you to join us on Thursday\, December 2\, 12–1:30 p.m. EST (Online\, Free\, Register Here) for a presentation–conversation on Christianity and Environmental Apocalypse: Lessons from the Nineteenth Century. \nTo view the poster for this event\, please click on the button below: \nPoster\n  \nChurch leaders in North America now confront an environmental crisis that already shapes our lives and seems to threaten apocalyptic destruction. However\, as many Indigenous authors and scholars–including Nick Estes (Kul Wicasa)\, Kim TallBear (Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate)\, and Cherie Dimaline (Métis)–have pointed out\, colonialism has already brought apocalypses to North America that are intimately connected to the current crisis. \nIn this presentation\, Emmanuel’s historian of religion and empire\, Prof. Matthew Dougherty\, uses this insight to re-examine Protestant settlers’ attitudes toward the environment during the nineteenth-century colonization of the Great Lakes region. Focusing particularly on the predecessor bodies of The United Church of Canada\, Dougherty discusses how their approaches to nature were neither purely utilitarian nor entirely reverent\, but instead reflected the entanglement of Christian theologies with colonial approaches to economics\, agriculture and land tenure. Considered anew\, these histories offer both lessons and cautions for Christian leaders seeking to confront the contemporary crisis. Dougherty will engage in a conversation with the Rev. Murray Pruden (National Executive Minister for Indigenous Ministries and Justice for the United Church of Canada)\, who will also moderate our Q&A. \nPlease feel free to share widely with family\, friends and colleagues via email and social media. I have attached two iterations of the event’s poster (hyperlinked PDF for email\, JPG for social sharing).

SUMMARY:"The Other Side of The River" - United in Learning Event
DESCRIPTION:The Other Side of the River:\nExploring Reconciliation with Alf Dumont\n\nMay 11\,  2021     7:00 pm ET /4:00 pm  PT \nReconciliation is more than an academic or political exercise; it can also be deeply personal. \nAlf Dumont walks between the two worlds of Indigenous and settler\, traditional spirituality and Christianity. In The Other Side of the River\,\, he shares stories of building bridges between these worlds. Dumont challenges the church to re-examine the theology behind its past decisions around residential schools so that it might live out the words of its apologies. He challenges the country to re-examine its responsibilities and relationships with Indigenous people. Through stories\, humour\, poetry\, and insight\, Dumont encourages all people “to sit down together again” and share in a new way. \nClick on the button below to learn more and to register: \nInformation and Registration
