How do we live well on the land?

This is a significant question for the church as we wrestle with both our indigenous and ecological history.  The Anglican Diocese of Edmonton spans a wide swath of land in North-Central Alberta - how is the land inviting us to live well in this place?  The title is drawn from a story shared by a Dene elder of his ancestors moving into a different landscape.  Their old ways and traditions were no longer applicable, they had to practice a new way of gathering food and keeping communication.  The Anglican church came from a very different place, land, and tradition.  What new ways of incarnation do we need to learn and hone in this place?

In this 5-part podcast series Rev. Jonathan Crane interviews individuals who spend their lives caring for a peice of land be it rural or urban.  These podcasts will be released once a week through the 2021 Season of Creation that begins on September 1st.  They are intended to be enjoyed by individuals in addition to any local church programs you might be running and will be available both on the Diocesan website as well as other podcast services.  These podcasts are an act of the Diocese of Edmonton Social Justice Commitee.

New episodes are being added weekly through the Season of Creation!

There’s still a place for you.

Thursday, October 7 at 10:00 am

e-Mail Anne (wildrosie7@gmail.com) and she will send you this weeks excerpts from An Alter in the World.

Come and enjoy a relaxing time of  conversation on Thursdays as we  reflect together on excerpts from Barbara Brown Taylor‘s best selling  book,  An Altar in the World - a Geography of Faith. Taylor begins by reminding us of the words of the 12th century mystic, Mechtild of Magdeburg: “the day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw–and knew I saw–all thing in God and God in all things`.  It is in this spirit Taylor invites us to discover altars everywhere we go and in nearly everything we do. So bring your coffee and gather around the (virtual) kitchen table or perhaps just settle into a comfortable chair as we enjoy each other's company and delight in recognizing  the Holy in the Ordinary.

Many of us have never actually read the TRC calls to action.  If we have, we also have need of a reminder, and to review what we can next do to help the way of settler-indigenous relations.

Join us on the feast day of St. Francis to honor his care of creation and his understanding of God's work through all living things.

We gather across the street at Fulton park SUNDAY 1PM (Rain out we will meet Monday at 4pm).

We share in a simple service reflecting on God's gift of life in the animals most close to us with a simple act of blessing and thanksgiving for their life.

Please bring any furry, scaley, or feathered friend that you give thanks for in your life to pray with and for them!

The 8am service has begun again in the chapel.  We are able to accomodate typical 8am numbers in that space, however, if you typically come to 10am and are planning to drop in please rsvp to Jonathan at rector@staugustinesedmonton.com or text/call 780-619-3170.
