The Sharing of Gifts: Ecumenical Conversations
Adult Sunday School: May 26 – June 9, 2019
When we dialogue with other Christian denominations and faith traditions, our own theological understandings can be affirmed, enriched, challenged, and deepened. In these last three weeks of Adult Sunday School, we enter into conversation with partners, neighbours, and friends from different faith communities, in a stance of openness and learning, sharing our gifts of faith with one another.
May 26 – Anglican-Mennonite Dialogue
In 2017, the Anglican Church of Canada and Mennonite Church Canada began a formal dialogue together. Motivated by a desire to learn from and share with each other, members of each denomination have been meeting to discuss their theological understandings and church practices. Members of the Dialogue, which is co-chaired by Melissa Miller, will share some of their conversations and learnings with us.
June 2 – St. Kateri Tekakwitha Aboriginal Parish
Over the past few years, Home Street Mennonite has begun to connect with our neighbour, St. Kateri Aboriginal Catholic Parish, located at the corner of Ellice and Home Street. St. Kateri Parish intentionally integrates indigenous symbols and rituals into their Catholic Mass. In our Sunday School hour, Stan Fontaine, an elder from Sagkeeng and a member of St. Kateri Parish, will share some stories with us.
June 9 – Conversations with Korean Christian friends
Over the past year, it has been a gift for us at Home Street to get to know Taewook Bae, Euncho Ko, Yongjin Jeong, and Soyoung Choi. They will share with us some of their personal stories, their educational endeavours, and their perspectives on the Korean Christian Church and the Canadian Mennonite Church.
