The Best SupperJan Richardson 
All are welcome at the table of God
For Christ brings peace to all,
tearing down every hostile wall
so that the many may become one:
one heart
one family
one new humanity.
Blessed are the Undone: a workshop on leadership and blessing in the face of changing Christian faith
Wednesday, June 4 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Based on research for Blessed are the Undone (New Leaf Press, w/ co-author Peter Schuurman) Angela Reitsma Bick will candidly describe some of the triggers that have stimulated a “quiet deconstruction” of Christian faith in Canada. What long-held aspects of Christian faith are being questioned, and why? Plenty of space will be given to facilitated small group conversation around postures and long-term approaches to foster resilient Christian faith. Expect to wonder together about the blessing of being ‘undone’ in Christ who makes all things new.
“May God’s Spirit hover over our chaos,
descend in our hearts with love and pleasure
and blow us out into the world to listen, to serve
and set us ablaze to forgive and reconcile.”
– A blessing inspired by Ephesians 2
