SUMMARY:Lenten Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited to a 6-week Lenten book study. It will be held on Zoom weekly on Mondays from 4:15-5:45pm\, beginning on Monday\, February 19th. It will run until March 25. \nWe will be discussing The Last Week by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan. Using Mark’s gospel as a guide\, they present a day-by-day account of Jesus’ final week of life. They intentionally play on the term «passion»\, opposing Jesus’ passion for the Justice of God\, a fair share for all\, against the familiar emphasis on his «suffering» (Passion Week). The book sets the events of the week into the political and cultural context of the time; this realism should inspire insight and lively discussion. \nDetails and Zoom link at https://bloorstreetunited.org/churchsocial-calendar/?event_id=59847&event_date=2024-02-19

SUMMARY:Book Launch of David Kim-Cragg's "Water from Dragon’s Well: The History of a Korean-Canadian Church Relationship"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of David Kim-Cragg’s book\, Water from Dragon’s Well: The History of a Korean-Canadian Church Relationship (2022\, McGill-Queen’s University Press)\, on Monday\, October 3 at 7 p.m. EDT. The launch is online and free. Kim-Cragg Emm 9T9 is both a sessional lecturer at Emmanuel College and minister at St. Matthew’s United Church in Richmond Hill. \nKim-Cragg will be joined by Phyllis D.

The century-long Korean-Canadian church relationship has had a lasting influence on Korean society and on the culture and mission of The United Church of Canada\, helping to crack the colonial foundations of Canadian Protestantism. \nWater from Dragon’s Well explores the connection between the Korean Christian community and the Canadian church and its missionaries from the 1890s to the present.
