Education for MinistryTheological education by extension for lay people - Tuesday, June 9, 2020 Education for Ministry (EfM) is a program of theological education by extension for lay people. There are four years of study, (but participants commit for one year at a time,) meeting in small groups with a trained mentor. The program combines academic study with integrative components to help participants take what they learn about Scripture, church history, theology and ethics into their own lives and hearts, supporting them in living out a vibrant baptismal ministry in the church and in the world. EfM is also available for those who are unable to attend local classes. It is offered online using the Blackboard software package and Zoom. Until we are permitted to meet face-to-face, Zoom will be the recommended method of attendance at Face-to-Face groups.

Healthy forest Coalition - For the birds contest and campaign
A Campaign from the Healthy Forest Coalition FOR THE BIRDS All across Canada, people sheltering at home have delighted in the birds outside their windows. Now millions of migratory birds are arriving from their wintering grounds to the south. These birds, many so small they fit into the palm of a child’s hand, have flown thousands of kilometres to make their nests and raise their young in our forests. They have a few short months to ensure the survival of their kind. A long standing federal and international law, the Migratory Birds Convention Act, says it is illegal to destroy birds or their nests during breeding season but this law is not working. Across Canada, whole forests are cut down while the birds are on their nests. The only way to enforce the law so it actually protects the birds is to require a ‘silent season’. This means all the machines cutting and hauling trees out of our forests fall silent during nesting season. The birds can safely sing their hearts out. What can we do?
