Keramion Trio Paul Halley ~ Nick Halley ~ Jon Suters An Evening of Soul-Stirring Music for piano, percussion, guitar and organ
Halifax, NS – Atlantic School of Theology is pleased to present the Keramion Trio in concert on Wednesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m.
Four-time Grammy winner Paul Halley leads the trio in selections from recent recordings, featuring music that happily mixes Brazilian with Bach, African with Appalachian, and jazz with Gesualdo. Nick Halley is a world percussion master who recently released his debut CD “Barnum Hill” to wide acclaim throughout the US jazz community. He also doubles on keyboards for this lively performance. Jon Suters is a classically-trained guitarist from the Berkshires whose take on just about all music involving six strings has gained him a large following in the New York/Boston area. Watch for Jon to take a turn on the bass at some point in the evening.
Aside from the set pieces on the program, this trio is known to break into an improvisation or two. Come along for the ride and let the music begin!

Stewardship of Creation
In recognition of Earth Day 2009 what can we do to be aware of our responsibility for the earth. There is a great website earthministry.org which offers a a Christian perspective. The following is an excerpt from the site.
Psalm 24 states that “the Earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.” Humans simply hold the Earth in trust for God. We are tenants here, called to care for the creation on behalf of future generations and all species. The Bible calls us to “till and keep the garden” and names human beings as the trustees of creation. Because God created all the Earth and all of us, creation is beautiful and good and sacred. We are called by our devotion to God and our love for God’s works to protect it.

A member of the Parish of Clements Council recently heard a commentary on CBC Radio about 2 Canadians that are running a school/home for orphaned children in Haiti. The head lady has used up all of her life savings trying to feed, cloth, school, etc these children and they are in real need from month to month just to survive.
The Diocese has confirmed with PWRDF that they do no work in Haiti. Bishop Sue notes that Haiti is part of the Episcopal Church USA, and that some of our people might appreciate knowing about this project.

Two-Eyed Seeing - Native Wisdom as our Climate Changes
May 2, 10am - 4pm
Western science and technology has led us to where we are today - a world of pollution, imbalance, extinctions and threatening climate change. We fear that the knowledge that got us here will not get us out! Welcome to a vision that integrates our prevailing understandings with Traditional Indigenous Worldviews. Two-Eyed Seeing brings together the guiding principles, knowledge and strengths of indigenous worldviews with those of Western science and technology, offering us a more complete picture of our world - and so a more complete approach toward the proper care for our planet.
When we integrate our perspectives, we can more easily integrate ourselves, and move forward together to heal our planet.
Join the Aboriginal Rights Coalition - Atlantic, for this truly cross-cultural experience of our world! Led by Elders Albert and Murdena Marshall, we will learn about Two-Eyed Seeing, and then peer through this lens as we examine our world, our relationships and our ways forward together. All are welcome to this accessible, inclusive gathering.
Albert Marshall and Murdena Marshall are Elders of Eskasoni First Nation, who helped to establish and teach Two-Eyed Seeing in the Integrative Science program at Cape Breton University. Albert Marshall is a 2009 recipient of the Eco-Hero Award for Nova Scotia. For an introduction to Two-Eyed Seeing, view a video at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4641523553883632087.
Cost: $40 (includes program, lunch and snacks)

The Heart of the Human Project: Our Contemporary Vocation
May 11-13
Tatamagouche Centre
What is the goal of "civilization" if its thrust forward leaves behind the world's ecosystems and a large percentage of our children as veritable roadkill? What on earth are we doing?
Spend time with the irrepressible Stephen Bede Scharper, in hopeful exploration of the connections between liberation and ecological worldviews, the Option for the Poor and the Option for the Earth. Touch at the very heart of the human project. Using the framework of both a theology of liberation, such as espoused by Gustavo Gutierrez, and of the new cosmology, as proposed by Thomas Berry, courageously unmask the foundational questions raised by our global environmental and poverty crises. Build hope, and become empowered, not paralyzed, amidst the sobering reality of global warming and global poverty.
Leadership:
Stephen Bede Scharper is an Associate Professor of Environmental Ethics, Centre for Environment, University of Toronto, and the Department of Anthropology (UTM). A widely published essayist and popular lecturer, he is Faith and Ethics columnist for the Toronto Star, and author of Redeeming the Time; A Political Theology of the Environment. He will be joined by Wilf Bean and Nan Corrigan.
Cost: $390 ($235 tuition + $155 meals/accommodation)
