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: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
