One Voice CD

One Voice – a magical double CD set of inspiration and celebration from some of Canada’s top names in music, created to help raise funds for The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF)

Designed to appeal to a broad range of musical tastes, One Voice includes music donated by Canadian Music Hall of Fame member Bruce Cockburn, Celtic songstress Loreena McKennitt, top-ten star Serena Ryder, jazz great Oscar Peterson, rock fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, folk legend Stan Rogers, hip hop artist Shad, rock headliners Blue Rodeo, R&B pioneer Jully Black, our own Three Cantors, top Canadian choirs such as Elektra Women’s Choir, Chor Leoni Men’s Choir, U of A Madrigal Singers, Vancouver Chamber Choir and many others (see full track list at the bottom of this page).

One Voice is a unique gift for Anglicans to proudly share with friends and family members. The CD sets will sell in Anglican churches for $20 each, and it is strongly recommended that parishes order early to avoid disappointment. Shipping will begin in early September 2009: the minimum order will be 10 CD sets (one case) plus shipping and handling.

PERSPECTIVES

STUDY PROGRAM

 Begins Sept. 9th 2009

 

Do you know what God is doing in the

new millennium?

("Perspectives is absolutely essential for anyone interested in missions!") GEORGE VERWER, Operation Mobilization 

What is Perspectives?

Perspectives Study Program on the World Christian Movement is a dynamic 15-week discipleship course taught by a variety of veteran missionaries, influential strategists and professors, each an expert in their respective area. 

Discover what God is doing around the world and consider your part in His purposes.  Perspectives Study Program will help you understand God’s plan for our world – and possibly for your life – as you explore the following topics:

It is Biblical  What does God’s Word reveal about His plan?     

Discover God’s often overlooked yet unchanging purpose as it’s revealed from Genesis to Revelation. 

It is Historical  How has God been working throughout history?

You’ll be challenged and encouraged as you learn about the unlikely people and surprising events God has used throughout history in the spread of the Gospel.

It is Cultural  How does culture fit in God’s global plan?

Do missionaries destroy or enhance cultures when they plant churches? Learn the keys for communicating the Gospel to people with different world views and cultures.

It is Strategic  What role could you and your church play?

What are ‘unreached people groups’ and why are they so important in the completion of God’s eternal purpose?

Perspectives Study Program is for…

… You!
