SWRC Retiree Gathering

The Tuesday, March 10th gathering of the Toronto Group of Retirees and Pensioners in Shining Waters Regional Council welcomes Rev. Shawn Redden as our guest presenter. Shawn will present a tool called ‘The Justice Wheel – a tool for discerning the Vision, Calling and Pathways of Action for Daring Justice’, and invite us into some reflection and discussion about our own justice-making practice.

Rev. Shawn Redden (she/her) serves Shining Waters and Canadian Shield Regional Councils as Justice and Faith Formation Minister, including Affirming Ministries in Shining Waters. Shawn resources and supports Communities of Faith, is lead program staff for the Social and Ecological Justice Commission, and connects with regional networks such as Pal-Net SW. Prior to her work with the Region, Shawn was in congregational ministry for over 30 years. Ordained by Maritime Conference, she served congregations in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Her most recent congregation partnered with a not-for-profit to create a Community Hub with affordable housing for men at risk of homelessness, and food security program for the community at large.

The March 10th gathering begins at 10:00 a.m. with breakfast foods, courtesy of St. Andrew’s United Church.  The devotion starts at 10:30 a.m.  The presentation follows at 10:50 a.m. and the benediction occurs near the noon hour.
