Dear Members of the Diocesan Family,
As you are aware, King’s-Edgehill School has been in the proverbial eye of the storm with respect to the swine influenza.
I would ask for your prayers as we continue to weather the storm. Please pray for the students, parents, staff and faculty of the School, as well as for the various cultures, religions and communities from which our students come.
Things are getting back to normal. And while there continues to be a lot of media attention, I would recommend that you consult the School’s website, particularly the “Flu Update” section for accurate information. The web address is: http://www.kes.ns.ca.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
In Christ,
(Rev’d) David Curry
Chaplain

The stoles will be a cream coloured straight cut design and will bear a machine embroidered 2010 logo. The estimated cost will be in the vicinity of $50. The work is being done on a volunteer basis by a small group of interested and experienced, "top notch" seamstresses, for the sole purpose of beautifying and contributing to the celebration of our 300th anniversary as a diocese.

What Is Stewardship?
As we strive to live as faithful and generous stewards, it is important that we understand all of the facets of stewardship. Here are just a few key aspects of stewardship. Stewardship is:
Scripture Based -All of the teachings of stewardship come directly from the Gospels, the Old Testament and the letters of the New Testament. Stewardship is not a new fad, or environmental word. Stewardship is the way God has expected His people to live since the beginning of time.
Dependence on God - Stewardship is recognizing that everything we have is a gift from God. We can take credit for nothing. Everything we have and everything we do is a result of some gift that God has placed into our hands.

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)
