The Value of Institutional Religion in a Secular Age WITH PETER ELLIOTT – With fewer attending and a diminished role in society, religious institutions seem to be facing a bleak future. Dean Elliott explores important values religious institutions can continue to contribute to Canadian society.
Storytelling: The Oral Tradition Working its Magic WITH JOANNE EPPLY-SCHMIDT – The ancient art of Storytelling can touch, motivate, educate and heal - a vibrant means of connecting us: how it’s done, why it works, and the good that comes after “Once upon a Time....”
Naturally speaking…
WITH JUDY STEERS – ‘back to nature’ , ‘close to nature’ , ‘human nature’ , ‘nature vs. nurture’. What exactly do we mean? An interactive, thoughtful exploration of the nature of Nature, and our self-understanding as human beings.
Traces of the Divine: Poetry and Spiritual Life BISHOP MELISSA SKELTON AND THE THE REV. ERIC STROO explore works by modern poets touching on themes important to the spiritual life. Come ready to hear poetry read aloud and explore how it speaks to your experience of God.
Singing for Our Lives: How Music Shapes and Expresses Our Beliefs and Inspires Us to Do Good WITH MARTY HAUGEN – What we sing, we remember. What we remember, we come to believe.
