SUMMARY:Let's Talk About It: On-line Zoom Conversation Group
DESCRIPTION:What can we learn about ourselves from the survey that the Christian Courier put out last month? An amazing number of people responded and there is a lot to talk about! Survey-inspired articles expand on how respondents feel about the future of the CRC in Canada and whether respondents support a distinct Canadian CRC. A short story by Allan Romkema (“Why listen when you have all the answers?”) coordinates well with CC’s musings over the answers they received. \nFor Christian Courier online\, go to: https://www.christiancourier.ca \n\nChristian Courier is accessible in paper copies as well as on-line.  Consider subscribing  – if your church is interested in having paper copies\, please reach out here. \n\n  \nFor more info & a Zoom link\, contact: nvlettinga@yahoo.ca \nFacilitators: Neil & Virginia Lettinga
