Intersections CourseThe Diocese has a superb course on our history in BC, looking at the way that we have interacted across cultures and race, beginning with the very first colonists. Sr. Ingrid has completed the course, and found it interesting, challenging and immensely rewarding. Often, we prefer not to engage with uncomfortable subjects, but there is a lot to be learned about ourselves and the unspoken background of the society in which we live. To introduce you to what is possible with this course, please watch this brief video with Bishop Anna. This seven-week online series brings people together in intentional conversations to:
...so we can participate with God in restoring creation and affirming the dignity of all people. A team of trained moderators will offer will offer each of the seven sessions which are based on the information covered in the CRBC project, using video, song, prayer, self-refection exercises, readings and group discussions. The Church of the Advent will be engaging in this course during September and October, on Tuesday nights at 7 PM (skipping the third Tuesday of each month). |
