SUMMARY:Preaching with an Ecological Lens
DESCRIPTION:Ministry Personnel and LLWLs\, \nAre you looking for ways to address the climate crisis from the pulpit? \nJoin us online Tuesday Feb 4th\, 2025 7:00-8:30PM \nPreaching with an Ecological Lens \nA workshop offered by the Rev. Dr. HyeRan Kim Cragg\, \nPrincipal and Professor of Preaching at Emmanuel College. \n\nThe Rev. Dr. HyeRan Kim-Cragg is the 14th Principal and Professor of Preaching at Emmanuel College. She is the first racialized person holding both roles. Kim-Cragg received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2020\, the highest honor granted to Emmanuel Alumni. She has been actively involved in the preaching life of the United Church of Canada\, a denomination that has been aspiring to become an intercultural and anti-racist church for the last 25 years. As a leading postcolonial scholar\, she has written or contributed to over 15 books including her monographs Interdependence: A Postcolonial Feminist Practical Theology (2018) Postcolonial Preaching: Creating a Ripple Effect (2021)\, both are claimed as original contributions in homiletics and practical theology. Her most recent book is Moments in Time: Sermons from the United Church of Canada 1910-2020 (UCPH\, 2024). Currently\, she is preparing a manuscript for preaching addressing the climate crisis and ecological justice with a tentative title\, A Homiletic of the EARTH. She is grateful to share some of her current research in this workshop. \nWorkshop: Preaching with an Ecological Lens \nIn this workshop Rev. Dr. HyeRan Kim-Cragg will share her insights into challenges faced by those of us who wish to address the climate crisis from the pulpit. She proposes five homiletical strategies that may help preachers and congregations face these challenges and tackle this crisis. The five strategies can be remembered using the acronym of E.A.R.T.H. which stand for the Elements of Life\, Animals in the Bible\, Rhythm of Life\, Tree of Life\, and Hesed (God’s unconditional love). Once briefly reviewing these five\, Kim-Cragg will note the Elements of Life as Water\, Fire\, Air\, and Soil that are prevalent in the Bible and well used as theological metaphors. She will focus on air\, Ruah in Hebrew. With the deepened appreciation of this sacred element of life\, Kim-Cragg will offer how to proclaim the Gospel for the sake of the Planet Earth. \nThere is no registration fee. The costs of this workshop are fully covered by Antler River Watershed\, Horseshoe Falls and Western Ontario Waterways Regional Councils. \nFor more information contact Thérèse Samuel (Minister\, Right Relations and Social Justice) tsamuel@united-church.ca \nClick to register for “Preaching with an Ecological Lens” online workshop. \nThe costs of this workshop are fully covered by Antler River Watershed\, Horseshoe Falls and Western Ontario Waterways Regional Councils.

If not sure how to ask a question\, I can private message Micol Cottrell or the host and they will help frame the question in broad terms\, or without context of the church\, minister\, and staff.  Note:   you can always contact Micol Cottrell MCottrell@united-church.ca with situations that you need to talk about and in that conversation can be more candid. \nI will respect that what others share is confidential and will not share that information outside of the group.   This allows for learning drawn from individual experiences. \nI will appreciate that the questions people ask may not be about a situation that they are facing as an M&P Committee at this moment\, rather a question for future learning. \nI will respect that different M&P committees work differently depending on context. \nI will be gentle with myself and with others trusting in God’s Spirit in leading us to learn together. \nRegister Now!

DESCRIPTION:Regional Councils of ARW\, HF and WOW in partnership with The Hub and Trinity UC Kitchener-\nThursday November 28th\, 2024\, 6:30-8:30 (all participants are asked to arrive at 6:40). \nBackground: Post-pandemic\, Youth leaders struggle to put together groups. A message often heard from youth in the church is that what’s being offered doesn’t work for them. Being an intercultural church includes finding ways to bridge communication between different age groups/generations. \nGoal– To offer a forum that brings together youth and Elders in the church– a forum that allows the two groups to hear one another and be heard by one another\, and to consider what might be the Spirit’s invitation to the church for youth ministry at this time. \nFISHBOWL PROCESS: \n8 Youth (teens to twenty-somethings) and 8 Elders (45+) from WOW\, HF and ARW Regional Councils and facilitators will gather via Zoom. \n\nDiscussion questions will invite each to share and listen to experiences of their own youth faith formation\, and hopes and challenges for youth ministry then and now.\nOn each question\, using the Zoom spotlight feature to focus on one group of eight:\n\nYouth will invite one another to share\, while the Elders listen.\nPlaces will be switched\, and the Elders will invite one another to share while the Youth listen.\nFor some questions\, the order might be reversed\, with Elders sharing first\n\n\nAfter two rounds of sharing in separate groups\, Youth and Elders will have an opportunity to reflect together as one group.\n\nEach group will be invited to reflect on what they have heard and consider possible next steps. \nParticipants will be given questions for reflection and feedback\, to be submitted in writing following the session. \nThis is a cross-cultural listening event\, and a pilot project. This session will not focus on problem solving or planning. The focus of this event is to listen and learn about one another as a first step of re-visioning youth ministry in ARW\, HF and WOW in this post-pandemic time. \nAn HONORARIUM of $105 is available for participants who are not otherwise paid for their time in this discussion. \nTo apply\, complete the Application Form : \nhttps://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=qLUYz3gmEUCTEhXw9xV1dPBWSFWIXSNPila5mgKiAchUM0NLV0kyWUtVM1JXUEcyOUw4QlVaRlVDUS4u \nApplication deadline November 18\, 2024 \n  \nFor more information contact: \nThérèse Samuel tsamuel@united-church.ca \nKathy Douglas kdouglas@united-church.ca \nAdam Cresswell – hubleadership@gmail.com \nAimee Belanger at youthevents@hubcommunity.ca
