Join the Conversation.

By Sandy Plett

 

“God calls us to…grow as communities of grace, joy and peace so that God’s healing and hope flow through us to the world.”
(from MC Canada’s Vision statement)

You are invited to join together with others from across MC Canada for a series of 3 conversations based on readings from In Deep Waters: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis by Talitha Amadeo Aho.

These conversations, hosted by Sandy Plett (Mennonite Church Canada Climate Action Coordinator), will offer a space for people who engage with youth and young adults to connect with others, reflect together, and share experiences and learning. 

 

This is not a book of how-tos and answers. It is an encounter with a wise and grounded mentor who bridges the gap between the Christian faith she cherishes and today’s youth with grace and insight. Climate change is a focal point–but also a backdrop to the larger work of learning to be people of faith, hope and love, no matter the circumstances. -- Jennifer Halteman Shrock (read full review here)
