Waiting and resistance: Advent and Star Wars

Perhaps Star Wars and Advent can teach us that while we are entertained now with movies and Christmas preparations, we are part of something greater than what we see. We are called to resist the empire of this world, and prepare for the true kingdom, the beloved community of Christ.

The Refugee Ministry - including staff, partners, volunteers and the refugees served – is grateful for a generous $15,000 grant from the Anglican Foundation of Canada. In 2016, following on the Syrian Refugee crisis, a staffed Refugee Ministry was established to serve the many refugees who came from around the world. During that time, many innovative partnerships with a wide variety of community groups were established and maintained. Currently more than 90 community groups are involved as partners.

In 2018, one in every 100 refugees sponsored in Canada was sponsored by the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. Sponsorship applications were approved for 258 refugees. Approximately 200 more applications are in process and on the way now. With the support of this innovative Ministry, its partners, staff and volunteers, and now the Anglican Foundation, refuges will continue to be settled in the city of Ottawa and in surrounding communities.

"What's interesting is that I've come to understand uncertainty as a necessary condition for hope. If you're perfectly certain that “It’s going to be fine” or “It’s going to be hell,” you don’t need hope, because you know exactly what’s going to happen."

Despairing about the Climate Crisis? Read This.

A conversation with scientist Susanne Moser about climate communication, the benefits of functional denial, and the varied flavors of hope.

Sallie McFague wrote our recent Story at the Rectory book, A New Climate for Theology. She leaves a powerful legacy of theological scholarship and student formation.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.Vancouver School of Theology announces with deep sadness the passing of Dr. Sallie McFague today in Vancouver, BC. Sallie was Distinguished Theologian in Residence at VST since 2000 and the author of many books and articles in theology. She was the Carpenter Professor of Theology at Vanderbilt Divinity School from 1980-2000. Her theological work in metaphorical theology earned her an esteemed place in the theology of the 20th century, especially in her 1982 book, Metaphorical Theology: Models of God in Religious Language. In recent years, her research focused on ecological theology; her recent books included Blessed Are The Consumers (2013) and A New Climate for Theology: God, the World, and Global Warming (2008). VST extends our sincere condolences to Rev. Janet Cawley, Sallie’s partner. Arrangements for a service celebrating and commemorating her life will be forthcoming.
