New Book: Finding God in the Mess

Sharing in circle has a long history of transformation and community strength in both indigenous and addictions recovery traditions.

Sharing in circle allows us both opportunity to listen, and when our turn arrives, to speak.

A topic is raised each Wednesday in the realms of Faith, Justice, Spirituality, and Action in the Christian tradition that we are invited to reflect on and share if we wish.

Rev. Jonathan usually facilitates the circle.  Please contact him for the zoom access: rector@staugustinesedmonton.com

Foundations for Community Organising .. A Greater Edmonton Alliance Event at St A's

Foundations for Community Organising .. A Greater Edmonton Alliance Event at St A's

Friday 17th and Saturday 18th November 2023

This two-day training provides an introduction to the foundational leadership practices and principles of community organizing that have made it an effective means of bringing about social change. This training is based on the 70+ years of experience of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) in uniting communities to take action that makes a difference on issues that matter.

This training focuses on topics such as:

  • The practices of relationships-based leadership
  • Power - how to understand and exercise "power with" instead of "power over"
  • How to listen to a community for action
  • Breaking down complex social problems into actionable issues
  • Power Analysis, Action and Negotiations for Social Change

This training is taught by the Edmonton Alliance’s Organizer along with community leaders who bring their experience in winning on issues that affect citizens in the Greater Edmonton Region. 

There is no cost for St A's parishioners as we are a member of the GEA organisation.

When: Friday, November 17th, 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM AND Saturday, November 18th, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM 

RSVPs open until Wednesday night November 15th.
