Since we began\, we’ve made over $250\,000 in goods and services available to neighbours in need and supported multiple neighbourhood campaigns that helped build more just\, equitable\, sustainable communities. Despite the pandemic challenges\, the project has provided more than 1000 in-demand products and services in the last year alone. Things like virtual music classes for kids in lockdown\, pharmacy gift cards for seniors and new moms\, and even 13 X week-long day camp spots at the High Park Nature Center in the summer. Our June 20th Barn Raising is to help us expand to new neighbourhoods in 2022 and 2023. \nIf you can’t make the event\, but want to make a donation\, please go to https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/windermere-united-church/campaign/stone-soup-network/ where all donations are tax receipted. \nOUR FUNDRAISING GOAL IS $14\,000:\nAll support will help us continue this simple\, yet powerful\, approach to sharing abundance in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Racism in Canada by Sam Tecle
DESCRIPTION:In this free online session\, participants will learn about the history of racism writ large in Canada and specifically the history of anti-black racism. \n*How does racism work in the Canadian context and how does it specifically play out in our communities?\n*What does anti-black racism cost us as a community? \nThis session will be an active\, participatory\, and engaging presentation. (Recommended for ages 13+) \nAbout Sam Tecle \nSam Tecle’s research and scholarly work spans across the areas of Black and Diaspora Studies\, Urban Studies\, and Sociology of Education. His work focuses on the analysis of diverse experiences\, trajectories and expressions of Blackness\, grounded in particular histories of racialization\, colonialism\, community formation and resistance. His forthcoming work Black Grammars: On Difference and Belonging explores the experiences and perspectives relating to blackness and Black identification of East African Diasporas across the UK\, Canada and the US. More broadly\, Sam is interested in questions of Black Sociality\, Black cultural production and its expressions across the diaspora. \nHis research and teaching draws on his deep experience in community-engaged work\, focused largely on Blackness and educational settings in Toronto. This community-engaged work has been conducted in partnership with organizations to create new supports and opportunities for Black students at the secondary level and in the transition to post-secondary education\, in the face of a variety of systemic barriers they encounter. He has particularly prioritized work with Success Beyond Limits\, a program serving students in the Jane and Finch community.

SUMMARY:Beaches East York Interfaith Candidates Meeting
DESCRIPTION:As the campaign for the June 2 Provincial Election begins\, 10 faith groups in Beaches East York have come together to host a Candidates Meeting. The event will take place at The Church of the Resurrection at 1100 Woodbine Avenue. People can attend in person or on Zoom on Thursday May 12 at 7:00 p.m. by registering at www.therez.ca/election \nThe meeting will give people of faith and all citizens a chance to hear the ideas of the various candidates and political parties on how they would create strong and vibrant communities following the pandemic. \nAs people of faith we believe that we have a responsibility:\n• to create a more just and equitable world\,\n• to care for one another … and for successive generations\, and\n• to protect the environment that we share. \nThese responsibilities inspire us to shape how we live in our community\, how we value people who are vulnerable and how we tend to creation. \nOur purpose is to hear how the different candidates would work to meet these responsibilities\, if they are elected to represent us in the Provincial Legislature. There will be opportunities for participant to submit questions for the candidates at the meeting. \nOur objective is not to instruct anyone on how to vote. We will leave it to the candidates to persuade each person. \nThis is the 4th Interfaith Candidates Meeting in Beaches East York in the past few years. Similar events have taken place during the last Provincial election and the past 2 Federal elections. The Beaches East York riding is between Coxwell Avenue and Victoria Park and extends from the lake all the way north to Sunrise Avenue. \nRepresentatives of several Christian\, Muslim and Jewish communities in the riding have endorsed the Candidates Meeting. Faith Groups involved directly in organizing the Candidates Meeting include: \nDanforth Mennonite Church; Church of the Resurrection; St. Aidan’s Anglican Church;\nKingston Road United Church; Calvary Baptist Church; Beach United Church; Kimbourne Park United Church; Beaches Presbyterian Church; Toronto United Mennonite Congregation; and Danforth Islamic Centre. Several other faith communities support the initiative but have not been available to help with the planning. \nTo register to attend the event in person at the Church of the Resurrection or on Zoom\, go to www.therez.ca/election \nPeople attending the event in person will be required to wear a mask; social distancing will be achieved by limiting attendance.

SUMMARY:Annual Gathering of United Network for Justice and Peace in Palestine and Israel (UNJPPI)
DESCRIPTION:In line with our United Church call to ‘Bold Discipleship\, Deep Spirituality\, Radical Justice’\, the theme of this year’s UNJPPI Gathering is “Responding to a Cry for Hope”. That is the Call which was issued in 2019 by Kairos Palestine and Palestinian Christians. \nThe UNJPPI Gathering will be in London\, Ontario from May 6 to 8\, with a community event at King’s College on May 5. \nIn an attempt to work in the spirit of decolonization\, most of our leadership will be Palestinian as we try to decolonize our work and listen to Palestinians talk to us out of their experience. They include:\n• Yara Shufani – a Palestinian Canadian on “Unity Uprisings 2021 – A Year Later”\n• Shadia Qubti – whose home is Nazareth and who has been studying in Canada since 2020. “Peace-building beyond dipping humus”.\n• Amal Alhaddad – who lives in Victoria and has recently emigrated from Gaza.\n• Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac\, from Bethlehem\, in via technology speaking on “Jesus’ call to be peace-builders”\n• Dr. Gabor Mate will also address our gathering by zoom on “Would you rather be illusioned or see things as they really are”.\n• Mariam Barghouti – a journalist from Ramallah on “What is happening right now? How are voices of Palestinians being silenced”. \nWe will learn together from what our resource people have to say as well as from each other as we share our experiences\, insights and understanding.\nWe hope to be encouraged and re-vitalized in our support of human rights for Palestinians and justice and peace for Israelis and Palestinians. \nFor more information\, check the Gathering website at https://unjppi.ca or email George Bartlett at g.bartlett@sympatico.ca.

SUMMARY:Confronting Polarization: How to Cool It!
DESCRIPTION:Holding differences Creatively in the Public Forum with Facilitators Mardi Tindal\, former moderator of The United Church of Canada and Michael Saver\, consultant. Both are facilitators with The Centre for Courage and Renewal. This is a free online Zoom event being hosted by Beach United Church.\nAs we approach the June provincial election\, the toxic legacy of the U.S. insurrection\, the misinformation disseminated by the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’\, and continued anxiety about the COVID – 19 pandemic\, have all had an impact on citizens of Ontario. Parliamentary democracy depends on robust discussion of differing ideas\, values and perspectives on societal issues in ways that affirm connections\, respect differences\, and de-escalate patterns of harm.\nWe will explore how to create and hold a safe and brave space for such discussion\, a space characterized by courage\, trust\, integrity and respect. Practices that enhance our ability to listen deeply\, to respond more than react\, and to hold the tension of differences will be offered. In addition to input from the presenters\, there will be a generous time for moderated questions and discussion.\nFor more information contact Moderator of this event for Beach United Church\, Mary Anne Alton : maryanne.alton@sympatico.ca   or 416-469-5877

SUMMARY:Rethinking Preaching Conference 2022: Intercultural Preaching
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Religion and Its Contexts at Emmanuel College and Shining Waters Regional Council are pleased to host the second “Rethinking Preaching’ Conference with this year’s theme\, “Intercultural Preaching.” The challenge of intercultural preaching in the midst of social crises defined by racism\, colonialism\, and ecological crisis has gripped preachers in all parts of the world. What’s more\, online worship and the use of technology are on the rise and have contributed to cultural shifts that challenge long-held assumptions about worship. All prompts us to rethink preaching. The Centre and Shining Waters invite seasoned and new preachers\, students of homiletics\, and participants who seek to “rethink preaching” to join our conference in 2022. \nOur keynote speakers\, Prof. Jerusha Neal (Duke Divinity School) and the Rev. Michael Blair (General Secretary of the United Church of Canada) will be joining us. These special guests along with two responders\, four workshop leaders\, and racialized preachers who engage in intercultural preaching research will help us rethink and explore intercultural preaching for today.
