We have common agreement that fruitful relationships are a fundamental aspect of effective ministry. Such connections don't happen by themselves. Using data from Tyndale Intercultural Ministry (TIM) Centre case studies on flourishing diaspora congregations this webinar will explore what connectedness looks like. Following a general discussion of connectedness in these congregations it will explore connections with family, with friends, with pastoral leaders, and with God. It ends with a brief discussion of some of the challenges that impede this connectedness.
These explorations will be opportunities for participants to learn from each other about what these connections looking like in each other’s contexts, particularly in the context of their own experience practicing hospitality and welcoming newcomers.

The Gathering: Bloom Where You're Planted
The Gathering is an annual event for church leaders and pastors seeking to refresh and build lifelong friendships for resilient pastoral ministry. As a non-conference conference, we focus on encounters over information-exchange. Through worship, prayer, teaching, dialogue, sharing food, and recreation, we will grow our pastoral imagination. Come and refresh with us in the beautiful surroundings of Vancouver, BC.
In 2024, our theme is to “Bloom Where You’re Planted.” We will explore what it looks like for a church to truly belong to its neighborhood. We will ask: what would it look like for a church to recognize that Christ has placed it in the neighborhood, to bless and be blessed in his name?

The TWU English department hosted the 2007 Western regional conference on Christianity and Literature, and we are once again delighted to be hosting you here. We hope that you will find the theme of this conference, “ConVersing/ConServing: Care, Creation, Communion,” to be an opportunity to reflect, renew, and relate in meaningful ways.
In Caring for Words in a Culture of Lies, our conference keynote speaker Marilyn McEntyre presents literary art and the study of literature as a form of stewardship. Caring for words is akin, she says, to environmental concern and action, for we hold both language and the land in common. The conference invites presentations and conversations exploring the relations among literature and conservation, of serving together creatively to keep and pass on what has been given to us.
We look forward to your unique contribution to this scholarly forum that seeks to sustain faith, creation, and dialogue. We are honoured that you have chosen to engage with this conversation, and we hope…

Christians everywhere believe that Christ died once for all upon the Cross as an atonement for our sins, even if they disagree on how to understand that great divine-human action.
Roman Catholic teaching and practice has, for example, historically emphasized that the “dead yet made alive” Christ is now re-presented, and so re-offered in the eucharist. In contrast, Protestants tend to exert caution on this point, preferring instead to speak of the Cross as a definitively past event that nevertheless avails for us in the present. Yet, in this case, how might divine forgiveness be thought of as being “brought into the here and now” and applied to believers in the context of prayer and worship?
Is the promise for Christians who gather together simply one of presence and even power, or does it involve forgiveness and cleansing as well?
How might the practices and theology of the temple schematized in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament inform our thinking today?
How do the classic theories of the Atonement “play…

This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Aboriginal peoples, also known as Indigenous peoples.
Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.
In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.
