Seeds of Wisdom

This issue begins in celebration with photos from a successful 119th session of the Diocesan Synod. Thanks be to God for this community! We learned, collaborated, worshipped, and oriented ourselves towards our future. I hope you enjoy some photos of the event.

In the Apostles Creed, we affirm that we believe in the “Communion of Saints”. But what exactly does this mean? The Rev. Andrew Rampton explores this topic and tells us that these saints, our Christian family, help guide us, inspire us, and teach us by the examples of their lives.

Then, Dr. Heather Barkman demonstrates this in the story of Perpetua, an early 3rd century North African martyr. Though Perpetua must make grave sacrifices, it is all worth it for her faith in Christ. Her story, like so many of the saints, serves as a reminder of the power and hope we hold in our identities as Christians.

Following this, Dr. Ebele Felix provides insights as to how the Church can be more welcoming to diverse communities. Calling upon knowledge from her African roots, she directs us towards many different ways in which the Church can be more inclusive to those of different backgrounds and cultures.

Lastly, a parish profile with Grace-St. John’s Anglican/Lutheran Church in Carman, MB, demonstrates a unique and blended worship style with a united and friendly community.

Peace be with you; I hope you enjoy.
