GATHERING ‘ROUND THE KITCHEN TABLEA Zoom Event - Starting Thursday, September 30, 2021 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.

Edmonton Diocese and Beyond

Do you get the synod scene?
Do you get the Synod Scene? St. Augustine's is happily a local extension of the greater Anglican Diocese of Edmonton. A diocese is actually the most local 'unit' of the Anglican church. Much of our parish life is supported and partially administered through our central Synod Office which includes the office of Bishop Stephen. However, it can be difficult to sense this connection if you don't regularly see the many events and initiatives that flow in and through our diocese every week through the different ministries, parishes, and leaders. So, please sign up for our main weekly communication in the diocese, the ever-lovely Synod Scene administered by Margaret at the Synod Office.
