SUMMARY:The Blanket Exercise
DESCRIPTION:The blanket exercise is an interactive educational program that teaches the history of colonization in Canada. Led by KAIROS Canada the program was created in response to the 1996 report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. It has been used as a teaching tool across Canada thousands of times. \nThe Blanket Exercise is based on using Indigenous methodologies. The goal is to build a shared understanding about our shared history as Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through the periods of pre-contact\, treaty-making\, colonization and resistance. \nParticipants are actively involved as they step on blankets that represent the land\, and step into the role of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Metis peoples. \nBy allowing participants to engage on emotional and intellectual levels\, the blanket exercise serves to both educate and increases empathy. \nThis is an adults-only event happening at Islington United Church on April 27th from 9:30am – 12:30pm\, and advance registration is required. As space is limited\, please register early to avoid disappointment. \nRegister: https://islingtonunited.org/event/the-blanket-exercise/

SUMMARY:Mapping the Ground We Stand On

SUMMARY:No Cause for Despair: Finding Holy Joy in the Midst of Secularization with Dr. Stefan Paas
DESCRIPTION:Does the deep secularization of western societies mean that God has disappeared\, or is it rather a path through which God leads the people to new discoveries\, a new dependence on grace? Join Dr. Stefan Paas\, author and expert on church planting and mission\, for the day as he explores faithful responses to secularization. Two talks and accompanying breakout sessions will include material from his book Pilgrims and Priests: Christian Mission in a Post-Christian Society. Drawing on a wide range of practical insight with mission in one of the most secular contexts of the West\, Dr. Paas blends his experience with a thorough analysis of relevant biblical\, historical\, sociological\, theological\, and spiritual sources that bear relevance to missional identity in the challenging circumstances presented by the secular West. He presents a hopeful perspective\, rooted in a realistic appraisal of reality and rich theological reflections. \nThe format of the day includes lectures and group work for participants in person or online (via Zoom) as well as lunch for those who gather in person at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church\, Toronto. \nIn person: $75 lunch and snacks included\nOnline: pay what you can (suggested amount $25)
