SUMMARY:Western Intercultural Network conversation and AGM
DESCRIPTION:Encountering the Intercultural Iceberg: the Clergy Collar! Speakers Rev Lee Spice\, Rev Piotr (Peter) Strzelecki VDM\, and resource people from the WIMN executive\, followed by conversation and a short AGM for the Network.\n\nJoin the Western Intercultural Ministry Network as we explore the cultural iceberg –specifically\, the clergy collar. What values\, histories\, stories\, power dynamics lie below the surface and the water lines of our lives when we see the clergy collar? Let’s talk Intercollartural Ministry together! (Scroll down for a fuller introduction.) \nAll welcome- all identities and all people on the intercultural learning journey. Click here to see the mandate and terms of reference for our network. \nOur network crosses many time zones. Here’s our timing: 11:30AM – 1:30PM (PDT)\, BC\n12:30PM – 2:30PM (MDT/ CST)- AB and SK\n1:30PM – 3:30PM (CDT)\, MB and parts of NW Ontario\n2:30PM – 4:30PM (EDT) ON and QC \nZoom link here.\nMeeting ID: 961 7898 5162\nPassword: 279621 \n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n855 703 8985 Canada Toll-free \nIntro to our topic: In intercultural work\, we often refer to the cultural iceberg.  With icebergs\, only the top of the iceberg is visible on top of the ocean\, while under the waterline the iceberg may be vast\, deep and wide.  Often\, the most important parts of ourselves may be hidden beneath the waterline\, and encountering those can bring us into richer and more respectful relationship with each other. Sometimes\, icebergs that look far away from each other on the surface can bump into each other under the water – sometimes gently\, sometimes causing damage. \nFor our coffee and chai conversation this month\, we are going to explore the cultural iceberg that we call the clergy collar.  On the surface\, it might seem like a small thing\, a symbol of office that some clergy intentionally wear and others do not.  Some church members and people in the general public are comforted by it\, others are puzzled by it\, others are traumatized by it.  Some clergy are comfortable wearing it\, and others are not.  All of our responses to this visible symbol of office are informed by our values\, our histories\, our stories\, our power in society – those often unseen things that exist beneath the water lines of our lives.  Let’s get together for meaningful conversation\, and explore who we are as an intercultural community\, through the lens of the cultural iceberg we call the clergy collar. Here’s one suggested reading\, which may reflect the views of many in the church. And we’ll explore more views together.

SUMMARY:CCS Friday –  Becoming an Anti-Racist Church
DESCRIPTION:Join an online conversation to explore more about what it might mean to become an anti-racist church.

The conversation will be facilitated by Adele Halliday who is the Anti-Racism and Equity Lead staff at the United Church’s General Council Office. An experienced anti-racism educator\, workshop leader\, and award-winning writer\, Adele has been involved in anti-racism work with churches in Canada and beyond for many years.

SUMMARY:CCS Fridays: Getting rid of us and them in the church
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, with CCS’s new program staff\, Rev. Alcris Limongi\, we will briefly name the processes of exclusion\, marginalization\, and structural inequality that are often unexamined in the church—what we call othering—and seek actions that move towards a church of belonging where there is mutual power\, access\, and opportunity for all people who share the space.

SUMMARY:CCS Friday: Creating Harmonious Space
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, February 23 from 12:00 to 1:00 CST join an online conversation about creating “harmonious space” rather than “safe space”. Harmonious space is the condition in which diversity and inclusion truly grow. Guided by author and educator bell hooks\, who said\, “ Learning takes place in harmonious space” and “Community that allows for risk\, the risk of knowing someone outside your own boundaries is love.” We will consider harmony and risk as opposed to “safety” as the best environment suitable for diversity. \nOur special guest will be Deaconess Adrainne Gray. Adrainne was consecrated a Lutheran Diaconal Association (LDA) deaconess and ordained an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) deacon in 2017. She is currently the Director for Recruitment for the LDA with a focus on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and works remotely from her home in Atlanta\, GA. \nCCS Fridays are free. Please register to receive a zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kcOCoqz8tGtf4EgB269gUXM_d-r_sSrqc#/registration \nCCS Fridays are online conversations to help us respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are open to anyone who might be interested. There will be a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing\, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.

SUMMARY:Learning about Children's ages and stages as they pertain to Theology
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 5 at 6:30 p.m. is the first of four webinars in the I am a Changemaker Network. The other three are focused on the anti-racism curriculum for children. This one will be valid for use with that curriculum or any church work with children. \nOur speaker is Dave Csinos\, who is the Associate Professor of Practical Theology at the Atlantic School of Theology\, where he directs the new Diploma in Intergenerational Faith Formation program. The author/editor of several books\, he also serves as founder of Faith Forward and research director of Family Faith Every Day. \nDuring his webinar\, you’ll hear about the intersections between theology and childhood. We’ll consider how children of different ages make theological meaning\, how leaders can spark their theological imaginations\, and how different theological conceptions of children impact the formational work of faith communities. \nFor more details click here.

SUMMARY:Western P2P Youth Event
DESCRIPTION:An afternoon of fun with friends and horses!\nFor Youth Grades 5 to 12\nPlanned by YAAY’s* Western Reps\, especially for youth in their part of the Prairie to Pine Region \nThroughout the afternoon\, there will be 3 main stations. Each one will be about compassion and patience. \nWe will not be riding any horses instead we will be focusing on connecting with horses and seeing their compassion and patience with us. You will get to brush multiple horses\, lead them and let them show us things we don’t understand. \nYou will also have time to connect with other youth and explore your faith while reflecting on the theme. \n  \nSee this letter for more details.\nPrairie Breeze Stables requires this Prairie Breeze Stables waiver to be signed for each participant. This is pretty standard procedure for businesses that offer activities where there is potential for risk\, even though the risk is low when participants follow the instructions of the guides. \nRegister here\nNote: if we don’t have 12 registrants by March 16th\, we will have to cancel the event\, so please register now!  Hannah awaits your registration! \n*YAAY is the regional Young Adult And Youth Committee
