Our annual Wardens and Treasurers Day will take place on Saturday, March 22 from 10am to 3pm at St. Paul’s in Nanaimo. This event is designed for wardens and treasurers; however others in leadership at your parish who may benefit from these topics are welcome to attend. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us!

Wardens and Treasurers Day is an opportunity key leaders in our parishes to gather with one another, share ideas, ask questions, and learn about resources for their particular ministries. In addition to content that we heard was helpful in the past, we will offer several new sessions so that the day is beneficial for those who have attended before and those who are attending for the first time. A line-up of sessions will be available soon.

Bishop Anna Greenwood-Lee and Christine Conkin, incumbent at St George's, Cadboro Bay, will be hosting a week of intentional reflection at the Sorrento Centre this summer (July 27 - August 2). The week will explore and incarnate life-giving theology and practice in this turbulent decade. 

The 2020s... we know how they started. How are they going? Climate crisis. Racial reckonings. Institutional church decline. Trump is back. The future is uncertain. 

How does our theology help or hinder us as we navigate the turbulence of our times? How do we hold fast in these chaotic and changing times? Together you'll look at some of the theological voices of our time and explore their insights to dig into some of the issues of our day.

Prices vary depending on the meal package and accomodation type selected. Young adults (19–39) will receive $325 to be applied to their registration. Funding is distributed on a first come, first serve basis and is limited. Funding is also available from the Educational Trusts Board. For more information, CLICK HERE.
